it's Groot

Looks like its getting black fly mix garlic powder with water and spray to deter black fly works for roses to.

Thanks for way how to get rid of black fly Dawn. It had only broken through the compost yesterday and did all that growth in one day. The bits of black are small bits of compost on it :-). Was amazed at how quickly it sprung up, thats why showed hubby and all he could say was it looked like the character in the film. Lol.

I am amazed that much growth in one day,I bet your husband is chuffed.

Lol, Callie1914, he wasn't impressed as he doesn't like french beans, planted them for me :-). He is waiting for the runner beans.

Oh dear,good luck with the runner beans.

Lol Jen he has been watching to many films.
if you plant an Oxide Daisy a little way from runner beans black fly will attact the Daisy not the beans a secret gardening tip I was given from the men off the allotments years ago when I had two allotments.

Thanks for that Dawn, Laura is in charge of runner beans so I will have to tell her that.

Your welcome on the allotment if the men got a good plant that cropped well they would let one of the plants go to seed knowing the crops would be good the following year they always grew extra of what they needed for this purpose.

Sorry, thanks Callie1914, my daughter is doing the runner beans so I will pass on y8ur message :-).
