They like to hide under the leaves but I usually catch a few on the top. Have been turning my mint into patchy grey leaves that eventually wither and fall off.
I decided I wanted to try loofah. In the face of my constant neglect that bordered on felonious, I present to you the loofah I found after I picked up the trellis the storm blew over. Huzzah!
This is my first year of gardening having recently bought of first house with a garden. Growing a couple of my favourite vegetables, including broccoli!
