Bugs



Lately my balcony garden has been attacked by bugs. I have had aphids nearly destroy my capsicum plant. I am annoyed that I let the infestation get this bad before noticing. However I do a lot of the gardening during the evening and it is hard to spot bugs in the poor light.

There are also mealybugs on my rosemary plant and french tarragon plant.

They appear as fuzzy, white mess around the stems and leaves of the plant.
