I once had some self-sown nasturtiums, that came up amongst my french
marigolds, and the nasturtiums did not get any black fly all season! Do have
another go, and try growing them right next to french marigolds.

I love them too Sue, but unfortunately so do the blasted black fly.
Mine looked beautiful growing up the trellis by the back door last
summer until they became invaded by black fly and as if that wasn't bad
enough then the caterpillars started to eat them!

As a result I am growing morning glory instead as I seem to have more
success with that! :-)
