aphid attack








two of my windowboxes have visitors. little aphids finished with the violas, and now they are interested in tulips. I don´t like to use insecticide so I prepared a household remedy. mild soap with alcohol of 90º in a litre of water. ja veurem...

  1. Oh no! I hope that they are ok soon! I HATE aphids and white flies and red spiders, they always eat my mint and basil. Let me know how the remedy works!

  2. You know what works well for Aphids for me: a hard spray of water. This might not work for delicate flowers, but for rose bushes it is perfect.

    I amb Jane Eyre estic rellegint trossets, ja que la vaig llegir fa relativament poc... és la meva novela preferida dels darrers anys!
