I shall remove the hardening tomatoes and fly-spray the little

Why? Wouldn't be best to find out whether they're harmful first?

I've not had them before (and never missed them, either)

I certainly don't need the little critters and I don't need extra
pollinators. They don't look big enough to eat greenfly or slugs,
so they're toast.

If you're about to kill every insect you don't recognise, or can't be
bothered to identify, perhaps gardening isn't the ideal hobby for you?


What a counsel of perfection. Perhaps I should seriously blunt the
edge of my spade in case I harm something in the soil whilst digging.


That would be accidental - unless you can't bear worms so slice every one
you see.

I support Kay and Anne and I would expect most on this group would too.

As long as they're not fungus gnats. Those really are a PITA and can kill
small seedlings with developing root systems in no time at all when you're
not vigilant.
