He isn't the only plumber in 90 miles is he?

On the subject of gardening, we have aphids on one of our rose plants. Well, so far, only on one part of it, which I cut off and disposed of (it was a blossom due for removal anyway). Found some plants that we can add to the garden that are said to discourage their presence.

I've also read that a strong spray of water helps to knock them off the plants.

Now I have to find out if dwarf pentas are vulnerable.

It's been difficult finding time to pay attention to the garden with daily thunderstorms finally showing up.
