Hello!

I have a hard time following all this but I will try....

Mary ~ Are you an organic gardener? Use natural products? Thanks for the link on ASA. Also you can use white willow bark, as it is a natural source of salicylic acid. (ASA - acetylsalicylic acid)
Jeanette & Dave are right about the use of a systemic insecticide/pesticide. And technically it would be any product used systemically...as Dave explained.
I think that most of the mailboxes have been removed due to budget cuts. They used to be on every corner, and I rarely see any at all.

JB ~ Sorry to hear of mealybug. Have you tried using a Q-tip with alcohol? I think I may have used that in the past. I have only two houseplants right now, and one of them is outside. They are both quite healthy, despite my neglect. I water them when I think of it, but they are in places where I would notice if they started to droop. Still, I know I should take better care of them.

Jeanette ~ How are your tomatoes doing? Are they beginning to ripen? Here are some links for the uses of Neem oil: http://www.discoverneem.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neem_oil
There are more, you can use Google or your favorite search engine to investigate the possibilitites...

Well, good night all. I had a busy day today and tomorrow I go to town as it is my chiropractic day. She really does help, as I have had many operations and my body parts do not work as good as they used to.
