runner bean - black bugs

blue_cortina · « **on:** June 26, 2008, 16:37 »

Hi

I've got what looks like tiny black bugs on the tips of some of the runner bean plants (all planted out at the lottie). Is is the lesser spotted runner bean black bug ? or some other critter ?

Can anyboby suggest what I should do - if anything ?

is it not blackfly? a piccie would do the trick. If so just get squirt them off with water every few days.

Might well be - I'm just too much of a newbie to know - I'll jet them and take some photos - (or the otherway round)
