I read the most interesting article in the Almanac this morning.  It is about controlling aphids.  What intrigued me the most was that it mentions that sprinkling flour on your plants will constipate aphids; thus removing the problem.  I dusted all my squash plants this morning, plus my catnip, watermelon & canteloupe plants.

We’ll see how this turns out!  I certainly found this to be interesting…
