Yvonne's Greenhouse

Impatiens

Double rose Impatiens started from cuttings. They rooted rather quickly

when placed in water. The one major problem I had was spider mites. I didn't

want to spray them with insecticide because it would destroy the blooms.

I ended up spraying around the blooms with insecticidal soap and putting up

with the spider mites until spring when I re-potted them in baskets and in the

landscape outside. Since then, I discovered systemic insecticide and my new

Impatiens are completely bug free!

This shot is after a snow storm. Notice the greenhouse glazing is covered

with snow and ice.
