Ours likes the sun too, so much so that when we lived abroad we took him with us!

It's a bad year for aphids here on my plum tree - we've tried neem oil and it's had some effect but not enough and the tree's too tall to really get a good spray covering all over it. Hubby said being organic outside is a great ideal, but you need to take more measures if you're producing your own food. Luckily we're not dependent on the fruit...

They're a nightmare ! Blackfly, greenfly, whitefly... They're all at it ! One at the node won't cause an issue, it's when they start grouping up so need to keep on top of it. I've had to reluctantly use pesticides on my food crops already as I had a nasty case of vine weevil not long ago but trying not to use any on the girls as I don't fancy smoking chemicals... Yuck !

The Wilko Veg and flower works good as well. Got seaweed and magnesium in it too.

Sent from my comfy chair.
