Matthew's Journal

A while ago, we acquired a basil plant from Tesco. Remarkably, they hadn't destroyed its roots, so it lived. Accordingly, we potted it up, and put it in the newly-sorted-out greenhouse. It did well for a bit, but not it's infested with whitefly, which look to be killing it :-(

What should I do about this? I know the basil won't survive the winter, so I'm more worried about protecting the chilli plant (the only other thing in the greenhouse, and my Favourite Plant). OTOH, it would be nice to have healthy basil again. I have no qualms about deploying chemical warfare...
