This week I had a chat with
Don Snoblen who knows an
awesome amount about garden-
ing, and since he must grow a
million nasturtiums, I figured he
would know how to control the
black aphids that frequent them.

A Mrs. Stewart had called to
ask about aphids on nasturtiums,
and I wasn’t much help. Several
years ago I gave up growing them
because of these blamed, black,
beastly things.

Don’s answer was, ‘‘Go into
action at the first sign of trouble.
Pick off every infested leaf, and
drop them into a plastic. bag, and
garbage the bag. Then, using
your thumb, not the hose-nozzle,

direct a sharp spray of water on —

the stems, to wash off any
remaining aphids.”

He swears that aphids won’t —

climb back on your nasturtiums,

and the. plants. will grow new:

leaves. The trick here is to watch
all plants carefully, and get rid of
_ aphids the minute. they. appear.
As all of us know these things
multiply at a fantastic rate.

This year we’ve had no trouble
with black aphids on the broad
bean plants. As soon as I spotted
the first colony on the top-most
growth of one plant I picked the

_top growth out of all of them.

We've had no more aphids
appear. Troubles, we do have,
though with what were simply

ning it through the clusters and
‘presto! The berries are in the pot
and the stem still in your hand.
Thank you, from all of us!

This week I have planted broc-
coli, Brussels sprouts,.and an

over-wintering cauliflower called
Amando Spring, Actually, I
planted the seeds, but by the time
they are ready ta eo out in the
garden there should be an empty
bed or two, which 1] aim to heap
compost upon, and feed heavily
with lime.

I'm also going to buy some
Little Wonder pea seeds and get
them into the ground as soon as
possible. It feels so much like fall
today I’m getting worried.

We had a most unwelcome
visitor two days ago. Again this
year we have a rat in the green-
house, and he ate the side out of
an almost ripe great big tomato.

beast. Not one pellet had disap-
peared by this a.m., but no tomat-
oes appear to have been chewed,
so maybe he found something
that had greater appeal for his
supper last night!

o

I sincerely hope he has gone
for good!

Alas, they seem to be develop- —

ing root-rot. Starting at the base
of plants the leaves are turning
papery and brown, and the dis-
ease seems to be spreading both
upward and to neighboring
sweet-peas. Don suggested that
the trouble may have been intro-
duced through seeds sown this
spring.

There doesn’t seem to be a
cure either, except to remove sick
plants, and destroy them, plus all
remaining sweet-pea refuse in
the fall. :

It is also recommended that all
future pea seed be treated with
Capstan before planting, or that
you buy seed already treated

ck aphids

isn’t it?

Susan Lapham called to ask
what was causing her plants to
have puckered leaves. Since we
also have the same seersuckers-
look on the leaves of all the
asters in this garden, I did a bit of
research. There wasn’t a sign of
aphids on the asters, nor any
other creatures, but the leaves
were a-very dark green.

It was suggested that it might
be too much nitrogen, and that
could be, but since the plants
scem to be other wise healthy,
I've decided not to worry about
it. Please, Susan, do the same!

A Mr. Hayfield called to report
that he had a single white ager-
atum in a-flat of blue ones, and
could find no seed catalogue that
listed white ageratum. He won-
dered if he might have something
really unusual, but, unfortunately
for. his hopes of a really rare
plant, there is a white ageratum
listed in Thompson and Mor-
gan’s 1989 catalogue, and also a
pink one.

Someone whose name I can-
not recall called with a great
suggestion for getting small ber-
ries, such as red-currants, discon-
nected from their stems. This has
always been a pesky job, and her
suggestion would take all the
