    Hi all,

    I've been dealing with the eg at work and have noticed that the runner beans, french beans and courgettes all have a load pralines on each and also that 3 of the sweetcotn plants have curled leaves and are not growing, not only that but my pear and apple tree at home also have loads of aphids on them, the hose pope spray trick is useless and I am cincidering somekind of chemical spray,..

    Thanks
    Nick

    I'd consider myself lucky if I got pralines on my courgettes, and as for getting the pope to do his spray trick, I'm lost for words.

        All is clear now, thought i'd gone mad earlier:dbgrtmb:

        First thing to do is ditch the spell checker, she's not worth the money you are paying her.

        Next thing is to encourage ladybirds into the garden.

        Just ran that thru a spell checker and it looks like my garden will be full of "Lady Boys" in the morning:DOH:

        Still, good for the sex tourism industry I suppose:thud:
