I'd be interested in whether you get greenfly and how you (cheaply) get rid of it. Last year (my first at growing aub, chillies and peppers seriously) I was plagued with the blighters and vowed never again. The harvest wasn't worth the hassle. This year I'll stick to tomatoes.
Yes and yes, but undoubtedly I missed some of the blighters. I even steam cleaned the aluminium frame crevices. It's not really a problem this year as they seem to avoid toms and I've not bothered with aubs and peppers and I have enough chillies in the freezer to last for ages.

Porch still in progress and its raining! After a few hiccups about quality which have now been sorted, P is happy and it's looking good. One problem is that the rain is getting in....but that could be because it has no roof

I escaped greenfly last year but was plagued with red spider mites. The cucumber and aubergines were worse hit though the cucumber (a bella bought in a seed sale in local G.C.) plant did produce about 25 cucumbers. The aubergines were massacred. I've sown 3 types - long purple, black beauty and ronde de valence to see if there is any difference.

Potted on my toms yesterday I'm doing well this year I only have 3 spares.

I've sowed six Tromboncinos so I hope not!!
RE: 2022 - What I did today - JJB - 07-04-2022
I've not sown mine yet but I'm sure there will be more than 4.
RE: 2022 - What I did today - PyreneesPlot - 07-04-2022
I only had one plant last year and still have one left to eat!
RE: 2022 - What I did today - SarrissUK - 07-04-2022
I've sown some courgettes, squashes and pumpkins today, in more modest numbers than my cucumbers haha
They've all gone in the conservatory, that's hovering around 9 degrees, fairly constant. It's not really warm enough, but the heating is so rarely on now that it won't get much warmer until the sun warms it up
