You can never have enough...

[Venetian1]

Wow it was wet overnight - looked out expecting the street to be flooded but the drains must be working well.  Put in the washing thinking I’d put it in the garage (am getting low on clean underwear  ) but now there is sun so I’ll wait a bit and see if it is going to stay.

I’m getting a bit annoyed with my brassicas as I seem to be getting an invasion of grey aphids. I sprayed my Brussel sprouts with dishwasher/oil mixture, picked off the worse leaves, hit them with hose, someone said try a vinegar mix which I did until I just about had pickled the plant and the aphids just smiled at me and kept multiplying   and that’s before the white butterflies even decided to wake up from winter.
I’m going to try brassicas again but grow garlic among it - apparently that keeps the aphids away - are aphids related to vampires?    And put anti butterfly nets over them.
