Title: blackfly on courgettes
Post by: aquilegia on July 07, 2010, 08:55:34
Some of my courgettes are covered in blackfly. Mostly on the flowers. The plants look healthy enough. But will they do any damage? I haven't seen many ladybirds this year.

We seem to have loads of blackfly. Is it a bad year for them?

our squash flowers are covered in pollen beetles, sure they're blackfly, they usually go for the new shoots on stuff, I think  :)
