Cal,
Thank you for keeping the information going, it is a shame that learning takes so many years..........or for me it does.
Are you doing as I did and saving the extra tomatoes in the freezer, until they fill the big sauce boiling pot and then cooking them down.
A light soapy water spray, or better yet, a praying Mantis or two, is a good idea.
I always brought in a couple Mantis, for me to watch, but beware, even large ones will get trapped in a spider web and die.
Calpernia, we could use your knowledge here, I do hope you will join us and share it.
A pavillion is a large net tent, basically. Never thought about putting praying mantis in the house! Course, my rat terrorists would have a field day! LOL They hate little things that move.
Vaccuumming white flies—I never would have thought of that! They’re so numerous here I’m not sure there’s a vaccuumm large enough!
Yes, I have frozen tomatoes and peppers and jarred. I let the mantids go once the weather warms up.
