Nearsighted
I wear contact lenses so I can see distance. As I've gotten older, the lenses actually make my reading vision worse. With naked eye, I can read just fine - even pill bottles! So if I have my contact lenses in, I have to wear reading glasses. Damned if you, damned if you don't. Anyway, I went out the other morning to have a look around -with my naked eyes. Damn it. Aloe mite on Aloe fievetii. Aloe mites are not visible, but eventually their existence IS. These ugly galls caused by their injecting a chemical into the plant while feeding. Again yesterday morning, walkaround. *Photo taken after snip-snip. DAMMIT JANET! Planted in a clay pipe, Aloe johannis-bernardii also has a telltale gall. Thankfully both plants had new pups that don't look affected. I cut off both of the older growths, bagged tightly and threw them in the garbage. I treated both with BioAdvanced 3-in-1 Insecticide. I've had luck treating aloes...
