elaine rickett commented on Jonathan Torne's blog post Are you plagued by whitefly?"Lots of white fly on my sprouts - but this afternoon whilst weeding around the scarlet kale I noticed one plant that was absolutely covered in greenfly - strange for this time of year, I would think."
Damo commented on Jonathan Torne's blog post Are you plagued by whitefly?"I normally get some on brassicas and just ignore them. I've been fortunate and not had them anywhere else and the plants seem healthy enough. I never get them in the greenhouse as it's packed with french marigolds under the…"
Matt Richmond commented on Jonathan Torne's blog post Are you plagued by whitefly?"Yes I have billions of them on my uncovered sprouts!!"

Jonathan Torne posted a blog postAre you plagued by whitefly?

Flighty commented on Jonathan Torne's blog post Bolotti beans"Yes eat them like runner beans, or as Petra rightly says leave them on the plant if you can, or remove to dry if not, before removing the beans to store for later use."
Petra Hoyer Millar commented on Jonathan Torne's blog post Bolotti beans"I agree with Debbie, we eat ours fresh and have already harvested ours. So delicious. Frustrated that I did not grow more. Never dried them but I believe, if well aired you can leave them on the plant to dry naturally? Though, I may be completely…"
Debbie commented on Jonathan Torne's blog post Bolotti beans"I eat my borlotti fresh like runners because they look so yummy I can't wait."
