185/365 (July 4, 2010) – The weather can’t make up its mind. It was cloudy here all day, but sunny elsewhere.

According to the newspaper, gardens all over BC are suffering (Worst Year Ever For Plant Diseases). Mine is no exception.

My Hellebore is covered in aphids and scaly bugs, and the aphids are starting to migrate to my newly planted herbs (was too cold to plant them earlier). The Bay Laurel has something going on, leaves are curling with some strange creature I’ve not encountered before inside the folds. I’ve been plucking off the affected leaves in hopes of containing it. The sage has powdery mildew attacking it. And because the aphids are so plentiful, so are the tiny little ants.

So, everything has been getting a healthy dose of Pink Solution in an environmentally friendly attempt at holding things at bay until the sun arrives…..

“They” say that will be tomorrow….
