Noticed recently that the self-sowing columbine that has lived in the broken pot for ages isn't doing well this year.
I had noticed it looked rusty-coloured, and was small and wrinkled/eaten-looking, but hadn't really looked closely.
Until today -- a real close look revealed it's covered in tiny orange insects with black dots!
They look the same size as the ones I saw on the asparagus, but I don't recall the asparagus ones having a black dot.
I really need to get a magnifying glass to be able to have a better look at things like this.
Removed as much as I could, leaving just some roots and one piece that looks healthy.
Then moved the pot next to the fence/garbage. TBD whether keep or not.
Also sprayed remaining with soapy water.
