One day, on a whim, I bought some potting flowers and herbs for our sun room. And all of a sudden, we had our own little lush garden! To balance out all of the greenery of the herbs, I bought some pansies and violas. It was lovely to sit and bask in the afternoon sun with the smell of basil, mint and pansies but we soon discovered that we also had bought aphids.
For several weeks I battled the aphids with isolation, strategic snipping, collecting lady bugs, spraying and using good ol’ Sticky Sticks. As the end of June approached (and our trip north), I decided to give up entirely on the pansies and violas. The aphids had taken their run with several of the pansy and viola plants and I was on the border of losing all the herbs as well. So the flowers into the dumpster, isolated the remaining infected basil in a laundry bag with a ladybug and some Sticky Sticks and headed north with my fingers crossed.
‘Tis the season
July 16, 2009 by purplespoon…for barbecues, pot lucks, picnics, camping, and more! I’ve always felt that summer is definitely the season for food.
Overall I’m a stickler for homemade goodness over store-bought anything but then there’s always the juggle between making homemade tastiness and saving prep time so I can get to the eating part faster.
travelling.
