Blasted blackfly
Our Dahlia excelsa (present from David Hill) has had a real blackfly attack.
I was walking past it this afternoon and saw twisted and 'sad' leaves and then, further up this very tall Dahlia, several stems and leaves infested with the critters. I don't remember it suffering like this before and as there are loads of sparrows nesting in the eaves above it, I think the ungrateful little devils better get to work! Ray has sprayed it with an organic spray, so we will inspect again tomorrow. Is this a particularly bad year for blackfly in others' gardens? -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
