2010 Winter Greenhouse Varieties

Tom

I got mine from Puritans Pride-I think I got 10 4 oz bottles. They have a 2/2013 expiration date.

I have been spraying every week or every two weeks, depending on my schedule. Some Israeli company has a tea tree oil product that is marketed out of the USA, but I think its a dry powder, and I couldnt find a source here in the USA.

Thanks for your reply. How many hours daylight do you get in winter? Obviously far more than at UK Latitudes! I can imagine that your Summer temperatures make life very difficult for growing. We have access to Bological Controls but not in small quantities and of course they don't keep! This makes it very expensive to use them for small scale growing.
Is Tea Tree Oil as good as Neem Oil and does it also have insecticidal properties? I think Tea Tree is easier to get here.

Tom-let us know if it works for you.

Gill-On the tea tree oil, I cant answer your questions cause I dont know. I just started using it in my winter greenhouse.

Green lacewings will stay, ladybugs wont, but they stayed in my greenhouse pretty well. Neither will reproduce well, is my information.

My winter hours of daylight does depend on the month, but I would estimate an average of at least 10 hours of daylight a day during the winter.

Here are some Pervaya Lyubov that I also picked today. They are the right color, pink, but the photo doesnt show that.
