Five Times. I sprayed the last remaining cucumber plant with an organic sesame oil concoction (that claimed to kill whiteflies) FIVE TIMES yesterday, and the little bastards still fly out from under a tapped leaf today.

Nor, when contacted about it, do you need to self-righteously declare that the message wasn’t selling anything, it was “just nice positive information.” [...]

But number one and two on my list (at least right now) are weeds and weeding.”Did you put down landscape fabric?” you say. Why, yes, yes we did. And gravel on top of that.
