Catepillars and white flies have appeared to join my terrace smorgasbord.
I was checking on my plants like I do most mornings and it appeared that someone had decided to come to dinner without an invite.
When I lifted the leave I was amazed that these three and three others had consumed so much in about 24 hours.
It's pretty early in the growth period so I hope they recover.
Whiteflies are a common pest that are are weakening my cucumber & tomato plants by sucking the sap from their leaves.
I take old cigarette ashes and mix in cayenne pepper and dish soap with water and let it get warm in the sun.
Apply with a spray bottle on both sides of leaves and the white flies seem to look for a better party to crash.
