It’s coming into Summer, getting hot and sunny. I better get my cherry tomatoes and pumpkins going if it’s not already too late. And keep watering the zucchini.

In the hotter weather what do you have planned for your landscape, pots, patch, window box - or even the lone houseplant/cactus in your apartment?

      Oh, my zucchini plants have a pest called whiteflies.

      They’re attracted to yellow so people make sticky traps by mixing Vaseline and dish soap and smearing it on yellow cardboard. The idea is they go get stuck and the soap kills them.

      However rain and watering would make the cardboard soggy so I thought to put the cardboard part inside a plastic bag for protection.

      I’ve since managed to go get an organic pest pray which might work better
