It made my heart happy to see some flowers and a few tiny budding tomatoes on my tomato plant. But will they survive? That is the question.Having pulled through oppressive heat and a nasty fall when it got toppled over by tornado force winds during a recent storm (even though the pot had been secured to the balcony rails with a bungee cord), it is now weathering something even worse. An invasion of spotted lanternflies.
Each bug I spray jumps to another spot, or onto me, and I have to keep spraying and spraying it until I just about drown it--if I can get it to stay put long enough for that.
My joy has turned to melancholy.
I took these pictures this morning just as a reminder of what might have been.
I feel like the answer is dish soap and water sprayed on them. 🤷🏼♀️
ReplyDeleteAwww, that's sad. I think maybe Sandi's comment will work better.
ReplyDeleteI hope your week will perk up and be filled with sunshine.

Beautiful photos. I think Sandi's idea is good.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, they are a real plague! We have plenty here as well.
