[INDOOR-GARDENING:233] Re: Mealy bug alert

All my jasmine and jasmine-type plants are rife (??sp) with meally bugs.
Check yours.  It seems to be a hatching time.  I try not to spray and so done
skin tight gloves and rub the leaves with the bugs between my fingers.  Takes
a little time and vigilance--had it last year too. But it's worked for me.  Be
sure to look at the new  leaf axils.  They seem to love it there.  BAtya

On a cheery note, there's lots in bloom in the greenhouse now.  All these
jasmines are in bud, wonderful amyrillis, a small cherry tomato rubbed into
dirt last fall  when I took the pot in has grown 2-3 inch plants already,
orchids are spiking, cyclamen are in bloom grown from the fallen seeds of old
plants, I picked two giant lemons from my lemon meyerii, etc.  Spring must be
acoming.
