"Never known it so bad in sheffield, just clouds of them on everything. Not bothered doing anything as others on the allotment have tried with all sorts but failed. Dont appear to be doing much damage but are almost impossible to…"

"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."

"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…"

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…"
