House Proud at Goltho Gardens

We have a bad case of whitefly in the vegetable garden this year, as you walk in clouds of them fly up off our poor old brassicas, unfortunately there is little that can be done to get rid of them, we have even had the vacuum cleaner out trying to suck them up! They have really enjoyed the warm, dry weather that we have had this year. The vegetables in general have not done too well because it has been so dry and it has been jolly hard work getting what we have, the tomatoes are now gearing up to full crop protential and also the courgettes, that most reliable of vegetables. We have planted another crop of french beans and some peas for later as we are a little concerned we will not have any brassicas if the whitefly have anything to do with it. Ahh well that is gardening!!
