Isn't it too early for midges?

Is anyone else having this problem and if so what do you do about it? They're out in small clouds here, Val but I haven't been bitten. You must be particularly tasty! I think the only answer is a repellent that you know works well for you. I never wear perfume when I'm working in the garden, partly because I don't want to attract bees (I wear floral or citrus-y scents) and also because of its reaction with the skin in sunlight. I don't know if you wear a perfume but if so, wonder if it might be better not to! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon Exotic plants, shrubs & perennials online |
