whitefly!

Well! All action this evening. I discovered a plethora of cheeky whiteflies all over my pepper seedlings. After to snooping around on the allotment forum I have established that the plants are in too dry an atmosphere - the utility room with the door shut and window shut all day. I now will leave the window open and also spray the plants with water regularly.

Heres the plants before - you can clearly see the little buggers:


And after their sellotape treatment, here they are back on their windowsil. Also you may see here im 'testing' my rosemary cuttings to see if they're still alive by turning them round so they're pointing away from the light - if they swing back the other way, i'll know we're in business!
