Bye bye begonias
The dumpster is fast becoming our second home this week: tonight, we had to get rid of two angel-wing begonias that had been attracting those horrible little fungus gnats. We have tried all sorts of things to discourage the gnats, but none of the methods you see recommended online have worked. So this evening we at last gave up the fight and binned the plants instead.
On a brighter note, our new Christmas tree should arrive tomorrow. I’d like to see fungus gnats try to nibble that: they’d probably die of plastic poisoning, the little creeps.
