and now for a funny story
1st year with
roses had aphids real real real bad i think east TX is the capital of them Especially tyler TX area the capital of
rose growers so guess they just kinda attract them.i was always out squishing them(singing squish squish squish to tune of row row your boat) squish squish squish dam bug..LOL).i took shop vac out one day and was vacumeing them off my
plants.they really were bad there.my neighbor,the oldest one on street mr tom said to
plant marigold around them.i did
plant garlic around them& was less when sprayed the red painted dasiy mixture.but he thought i lost my mind.i latter met his wife and she says when ever she was depressed he would remind her that i was vacumeing bugs off my
roses cause i hated them amphids.I haven't seen any here in south TX and am just fine with that.
i use garden safe insectail cidal soap spray too now.i use it cause i like my butterflys and is safe for good bugsI buy bottle of concentrate stuff and mix it in sprayer .is cheaper at end of year and will get me through yr with 2 bottles but have lots of
plants
