Any other twtd gardeners being swamped by the various green/black/white fly hoards this year?
Don't recall seeing them in these numbers in recent years. Assume it is because of the mostly very dry and warm period we've had since March? |  |

Some blackfly on the runners.
Not many greenfly. |  |

Got lots of aphids on our beans and peas. They seem pretty chilled so we're leaving them be. |  |

I'll never use chemicals, though I did order some ladybirds in the post! | |

Yes, loads of black fly on broad beans cauliflowers and redcurrants. The ants are doing their best to scoff them all, but are definitely losing the battle.
There were masses of green fly on the roses too but about 3 weeks ago I sprayed them with a weak solution of water and washing up liquid which seems to have helped things a bit. |  | | |

We do also have a thriving ladybird community in the garden, which is probably helping a fair bit! | |

white fly on the coriander and basil. How on earth did they get into the kitchen? Clever little things.
Have not grown beans and peas this year.
Peppers and tomatillos looking really healthy. Will have first padron harvest very soon.
Edit; Don't wasps eat the aphids? I know they rob spiders webs. [Post edited 24 Jun 2020 10:11]

Wasps will eat aphids.
A little washing up liquid mixed with water sprayed on the little blighters can be fairly effective too. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Haven't grown broad beans this year; and suspect the blackfly will be on the honey suckle soon enough, as per. |  |

You don't see wasps like you used to, do you ?
Where did they all go ?
Were they killed by grey squirrels ? |  | | |

Trouble is there is the ants won't be eating them.
It's them there ants who have put them there.
They're using your crop to farm the blackfly and harvest the goo they produce.
Clever little sods. |  |

Wasps, hoverflies, earwigs.
It's taken me this long into life to understand that earwigs aren't the enemy.
I do use the odd spray here and there, as you describe and sometimes other organic sprays, but even those can't be healthy for the good insects can they?
It is a conundrum at times. | |

Yeah, ants are basically the machines from The Matrix. Terrifying. | |

I like the idea of getting some more ladybirds in the garden, but what's to stop them just flying off somewhere else? |  | | |

Had loads on the new shoots on the roses in April/May but a lot less now. Birds seem to enjoy feasting on them in my garden |  | | |

Well, ants have now gone down in my estimation.
I thought they were my allies. | | | |
