Ants and broad beans
Following up to David
They seemed to be stopping where the spots are and feeding. look closely, they are blackfly, I get them every year, spray with soapy water, problem solved. -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Wasdale-Lake district-Thames path-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Is anyone else finding this a bad year for aphids (OK, good year for aphids, bad year for plants and people trying to control aphids)? I noticed a few curled leaves on the apple tree and unfurled them to find huddled masses -- a veritable carpet! -- of aphids. Some leaves had grey, others red, and a very few green. There's greenfly on the roses, pinkfly on the scabious, a friend's lupin had real lupin aphids, huge things, and every one of the broad beans has blackfly. Presumably down to mild winter and moist spring? regards sarah -- Think of it as evolution in action. |
