Spring is coming

Thank goodness the very cold weather seems to have gone. The plants are producing many buds so production has picked up greatly.

Along with the warmer weather though come the bugs! Yep, there's a few moths creating havoc on the flowers, and we've had to start spraying again. We don't like using the chemicals and prefer using low grade stuff - but it just doesn't really work. Thank goodness we don't eat the flowers.

The spray we use dissipates after 24 hours - so there's nothing nasty left on the flowers.

That's good news - but at the moment it is wise to keep an eye on it. They have a nasty habit of getting out of control if one doesn't!!
