RE: Gardening Community Forum 1 : Help! My Baby Cherry Trees Are Under Black Aphids' Attack What Should I Do?

in #gardening8 years ago

@afrog thank you for the tips and the laughter!
rotfl here as I read this specially after reading tip #1 ..
I do collect lady bugs am just waiting till its sunny again they're usually hanging out on nettles along the banks of the marshes

I got these ones from there they do combat them but right now its always raining and cold the lady bugs have gone on strike haha

Sort:  

Happy, Happy, @englishtchrivy, you are back on computer. As you see, the truth is sometimes very funny.
Now you just wait for the sun. In the meantime you maybe collect more ladybugs. I don't think four combat units are able to clean a whole tree. Don't worry, the afids are as lazy as the bugs now.

@afrog hahahah yes, you always make me laugh .. so i have to come back just to check what for reply I'll get from a few funny people - to some Steemit is like the drugstore - you get your daily dose of laughter from comments
they're not lazy these days - still active despite the cold but maybe not tonight we're getting -2 he he

Yes the ladybugs enjoy flowers near their favorite food source aphids. Any kind of flower will draw the lady bugs to defend your plant!
