GreenflyI am inundated with them, in the greenhouse, in the garden as you walk along you get covered! Where are the ladybirds!!!The garden will just have to cope, but what do people do in the greenhouse? This is seriously serious, I have never known it so bad!

Hiya Libby

(whatever next!) not a bad idea seeing non are about I guess.

I bought some garlic stuff that you can make into a spray, it says it's good for detering greenfly so might be worth a try. It wasn't expensive and I got from a local garden centre. |
