Help Needed : From A Newbie
Hello everyone,
Been lurking for a while ) I have a problem and I'm hoping someone on here may be able to help. Went away for a couple of weeks and on my return found my Spearmint looking very sorry for itself. It "was" about 18inches tall, bushy, in a large pot and well used. On my return it had lost most of its leaves (all brown and dropped off) and the ones that were still attached to the plant had a kind of white blotchiness to them. I decided the best course of action was to cut it right back to about an inch and whilst doing that discovered lots of little bugs. Very weird looking things. At first i thought they were beige coloured spiders but looking more closely they resemble tiny crabs! Ive tried desperately on the net to find a picture of something that looks like these things (no luck). Now i really dont know whether to treat it with a pesticide (taking into account that i use the leaves quite a lot in cooking) or whether just to leave it and see what happens. Anyone know what these bugs are?????? Angel Child |
