  • redcurrant problem

    Hiya, just been clearing out the fruit cage and I have a few plants mainly redcurrants but also on some of the dandelions, seems to be spreading across. It looks like green eggs, like ant eggs but Ive only ever seen white ant eggs. On some of the worse ones it looks like compost has been dragged upover the eggs. Any ideas? I can upload some pics. Do you think that I can just wash them off as they do come off quite easily or do the bits they are on need a snip???

      Your camera isn't focussing on the "thingies" but I'm guessing from your description that they are aphids.

      Simply squish them in your fingers. Simples

          Looks like blackfly and greenfly (aphids) to me. As Twosheds says squish them, or you can spray if you wish.

              Not so bad if you can squish at the same time as pouring a can of water over your fingers
