My husband looked into carnivorous plants and we got ourselves a small sundew. It works WONDERS. The number of flies went down, obviously over a period, no miracles here and our sundew thrived brilliantly.<br />http://www.carnivorous--plants.com/sundew-plant.html<br /><br />Sorry I don't have a better suggestion for the aphids. I'd just spray my plant since it's not bearing fruit. My mom's method is to put the plant in a garbage bag, spray and close up the garbage bag for the night.souvenir kattungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521146497983248613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620646226349339372.post-51806258391830939282008-03-13T08:18:00.000-07:002008-03-13T08:18:00.000-07:00Your peppers look pretty good.

Then I will think about overwintering, but sure will come and read your experiences.

Our problem is lack of light. I should be nice and set up some for her but I'm afraid that would only encourage her to bring in even more plants.WiseAcrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383341492994868833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620646226349339372.post-86397450019231361312008-03-07T14:29:00.000-08:002008-03-07T14:29:00.000-08:00That was the problem I had the year I tried overwi...That was the problem I had the year I tried overwintering peppers.

I'm learning there are a lot of plants we grow as annuals that are perennials in warmer climates.<BR/><BR/>I heard today from my sister in Ottawa about the storm you've got coming. Oh boy, that is really, really awful :( Sounds like you're well on your way to breaking the 1970-71 snowfall record!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691765466320690473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620646226349339372.post-8850627866772136792008-03-07T08:15:00.000-08:002008-03-07T08:15:00.000-08:00Darn Buggers.Darn Buggers.Whyitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243528765489096681noreply@blogger.com
