Greenfly Already!!!
« on: March 22, 2009, 20:25 »
Tidying up the back garden; only to find Greenfly all over one of my roses.  I thought hard winters were supposed to kill off the nasties.  Spent ages with an old damp cloth wiping them off - Yuk!
Everyday is the dawn of a new error...

It really has been warm in Bucks.  I'm right on the border and have been on my brothers plot in Leckhamstead for a couple of hours today.  When I get even slightly sunburnt my skin comes up in an itchy, bumpy rash.

I'm itching like mad. :(  Will have to use sun block from now on. ::)

Oh and I forgot to say calomine dries to a whitey colour so best not to go out with it on  :blink:

I bet it'll be cold again next week, don't worry!
