When we get gnats in the greenhouse, we hang those sticky things you buy in tubes and pull the loop at the bottom to release the sticky paper. Ugly but they work with no pesticides. Your impatiens look so healthy. <BR/><BR/>Frances at Faire GardenFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-25277934052297175102008-02-24T16:18:00.000-05:002008-02-24T16:18:00.000-05:00Your photos are amazing...Your photos are amazing...Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390455875023239060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-55332575359892733312008-02-24T10:14:00.000-05:002008-02-24T10:14:00.000-05:00I don't have suggestions -- just that my nasturtiu...I don't have suggestions -- just that my nasturtiums were getting fuzzy with mold under the chloche and I had to let them air out.

The moss growing on the tops tells me too much moisture is being retained. The breeze would discourage that. Moss means conditions are right for bacteria too. So my vote is run some air in the room with a circulating fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-92057242426122741522008-02-24T03:10:00.000-05:002008-02-24T03:10:00.000-05:00Your gerbera is gorgeous.And you entice me to star...Your gerbera is gorgeous.<BR/>And you entice me to start seeding soon. Just have to find the right place to put the containers.<BR/>I have planted a lantana last spring, and covered it for the winter. However, it seems to die very quickly and I was ready to throw it away when I saw little green spots on the stems. So against all odds, it did survive! Hope your seeds will germinate.verobirdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968111905760607177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-44018883097586342162008-02-23T22:45:00.000-05:002008-02-23T22:45:00.000-05:00Robin, I can't give any advice on your seedlings, ...Robin, I can't give any advice on your seedlings, sorry.
