I know most of you have protected cuttings indoors this time of the year but here in Ca. mine are growing outdoors.

Everything's going on schedule but the cuttings under stress I've noticed lots of bugs in the dirt. Also I'ld like to hear what everyone uses for Aphids. I splurged and bought ladybugs which hung around for a few days and were gone and I still have a bit of a problem. I used the Bayer in the soil but that isn't doing all that good and now some white little bits are also on the new buds and I'm hoping they're not eggs. I have an impressive amount of blooms this year and I would like to keep it that way because the leaves look so healthy. debbysunshine@hotmail.com
