Yes, aphids are great poopers…and then it goes mouldy so you end up with ugly black sticky stuff. Axe the gym membership and get out a scrubbing brush. Oh, and encourage blue tits and wrens as they’ll eat the aphids.
Ive been complaining to the cat all day, because everything, house, washing in the garden, tonnelle, inc. Me and the cat, feel ever so slightly sticky. A lot of mowing going on but not many lime trees.
I have a little avenue of lime trees up to my house and there’s a month or so when I simply can’t park there in the lovely shade because of sticky aphid juice.
It can affect the paint finish on your car.
I was very allergic to lime pollen and was living in a first floor flat in Manchester at the time, flower height.
I had such painful earache that I was sent to the on site nurse, who gave me medication, but said that I should go home, but not take the pills until I had safely got off the train, otherwise I might end up in Scotland.
Strange being sent home to the country.
She’s totally gorgeous Mat…tennis balls don’t last long with my girl…she likes to rip the fluff off them…x
My boy if he can hold on to one long enough without her taking it off him would play for hours…
When the apples start falling my girl will choose one and then parade around with it daring him to try and take it off her…he could choose from another thousand fallen apples but he gets obsessed with the one she has…x
