I couldn't understand why my Christmas roses weren't blooming or why none of the winter bulbs like snowdrops had come up yet.

So I took a gander into the garden yesterday and discovered I have a massive infestation of these bright green caterpillars. They seems to be eating everything green including my ferns.

There birds haven't arrived yet to eat them and I fear if I do nothing they will eat the rest of my garden before they do.

Any suggestions on what I can do?

An earlier topic dealing with caterpillars on veg Spraying cabbages and brussels with soapy water solution.
All the methods mentioned for the veg will work on your other plants.
A suitable shop bought insecticide will contain the ingredient malathion or else you can use the more organic "Liquid derris".
Good few options there.
