It's ALL about MUMs

All in together...
Chrysanthemums... Tip pruning to promote quality flowering and a 'thicker than most' display.

Observations:

  • Caterpillar's- little buggers. May make colourful moths or butterflies BUT NOT ON OUR WATCH! Physical removal and disposal- (*may need to consider an Easter insecticide spray?)
  • Aphids- gotta go!!! Same as above!
  • Ladybirds- love a good feed of Aphids- their keepers. Sic'm!!!
  • No mildew YET? If mildew is prevalent or likely to occur then we can either use fungicide OR try 1 part full cream milk to 4 parts water and spray?
