One of the pumpkins has aphids really severely and it’s starting to spread to the others…
I’ve sprayed soapy water and physically wiped as many as I could off but am a bit worried. Especially as ants are farming them.
That’s a good idea. I’ve scrubbed off as much of the heavy infestation as I can but maybe there’s enough to get them to stick around for a bit
Oh damn, there was a praying mantis but it seems to be gone.
There was a ladybird sitting on the zucchini plant a week or two ago but I didn’t want to move it to the pumpkin plants I had just sprayed (even though organic) and it also hasn’t stuck around.
I bought some dill to help attract ladybirds back and be a sacrificial plant
