    Colour blind aphids

    We've been overrun (or should that be "overflown"?) by clouds of greenfly and blackfly lately. As soon as I squash them more land on the plant ...
    Today, when I was inspecting my toms I found a mutant (cue Twilight Zone music) - a red greenfly.
    The problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate.

    I would have said "sunburn" if we hadn't had such bad weather.

        Aphids don't just come in green or black, they come in red and pretty pink too

          Wow. It's taken me 50 years to see a red one. Hope it doesn't take another 50 to se a pink'un.

            Wot, no Tories ? !
            Isn't that just typical. Every other sort of politics represented, except that of the Conservatives. Oh well, maybe they're represented by some bloodsuckers somewhere.

                  There are loads & loads of different aphids ~ over 500 species in the UK. Greenfly and blackfly are just the commonest ones to cause the gardener grief

                    !!!
                    So that's why people who can only visit their veggie patch once a week take up tiddlywinks !
