I know where Frimplepants came from! (Or at least one, if there's more.) It's "The Princess in Black" series. My daughter has read the first book many times! It's about a princess who is beautiful and respectable and wears fancy dresses for everyone to see, but has a secret double life as a...
My son helped me build the new cold frame yesterday. He has gotten a lot better at hands on things since residing the house with us.
My sister gave this to me for Christmas. I love it!
I held it together while my son put the screws in.

They're super tiny. About the size of a small aphid. Right now I carry them to my sink, turn them sideways, and blast them all with water until there are no bugs on the plant itself. Then I spray with soap. I've ordered copper tape to give that a try.
Removing hundreds of bugs every day does...
So far various efforts have cut down bugs but not eliminated them. Just ordered a roll of copper tape to try this! I'm super excited to see if it helps.
@Shades-of-Oregon These are 4 starts with the 'root riot' beginnings. How do they look to you?
