all good here - and you ?
the small yellow things with legs ?
those are aphids ....left unchecked they will destroy new growth ...and will attract ants that harvest the "honeydew" that aphids secrete / discharge
plan to treat the aphids on a watering day ....
as you approach they are smart enough to move and try to hide out of your view
spray the affected plants down with insecticidal soap - get under leaves and crotches of stems .... spray to runoff
when insecticidal soap dries (Insecticidal Soap is no longer effective) ...
rinse dried insecticidal soap off leaves and water plants to saturation ...< don't skip the rinse - some insecticidal soap brands may skeletonize leaves if left on especially during *hot* weather
- Insecticidal Soap -
Purchase premixed ...or make your own at a fraction of the cost
Will need:
a small sprayer -
pure unscented liquid Castile soap ...
Mix 1 tablespoon of Castile soap in 1 quart of water, or 5 tablespoons in 1 gallon of water
