Hello everyone,

I'm new to the site and forum. Also I'm just learning about gardening. With help, I've built a courtyard and am working to turn my yard into a flowering, fragrant, relaxing place. In fact some of my friends think I'm moving outside to live.

About 4 weeks ago, I planted several confederate jasmine plants in the courtyard. They are growing well and look very healthy. I've noticed on 2 of them there is a white fungus looking growth on the vine and teeny, teeny, tiny black bugs. I don't want these little guys and this fungus to ruin my plants. I've searched the web and haven't found anything that helps me.

I'm wondering what I should do. Will these little bugs move on and will the fungus die out or are they going to slowly take over the plants?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

wavey
