Broad beans fly
« on: October 28, 2009, 00:27 »
Hi
, when i water my "dont know their name" broad beans i planted a few weeks ago and are doing ok, a load of little white flies zoom off them like a scene from hitchcock.  :ohmy:

Any advice as to what they could be? and if i fleece them surely that will keep these things in?

White flies should be mostly killed off during the winter so they won't be a problem.

Waste of time this year. They are everywhere and soon wander back.

Keep everything crossed for a good frost.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
