What kind of day temperatures are you having at the moment - Kath:)

You know, the temps are getting up into the 90's. I've really watched them, and tried watering a bit twice a day, and they seem better. Southgate's buds have popped successfully (YAY!), and First Love hasn't dropped anymore.....

My Hidcote Beauty does have some small white scale though. Not mealies...more like pure, snowy white aphid looking things. Okay to spray w/pesticide, Kath?

LOVING my fuchsias, and the books that arrived on them.....rue'd not checking the forum before ordering though...=)

Yes it's ok to spray Kathleen, but make sure your plant it out of the sun and if possible when it's the coolest part of your day - Kath:)
