So I got home this afternoon after a two week long training course for work and found every single plant I have coated in aphids! I've got a couple of older plants that I had already saved from an infestation a couple months ago and they were coated. All of my seedlings for this next season are infested as well.
I tried to over winter a few plants for the first time this winter and ended up bringing the little devils in with the plants. Those plants didn't survive and I've been fighting them ever sense. I thought I had beat them but I realize I was oh so wrong!
I cleaned them all off in the sink, smashed all the ones I could find and hosed em all down with Neem. Wish me luck! I hope I can keep the aphids at Bay long enough to get these plants outside in the spring and let mother nature help fight them off.
Any suggestions on what else I could do would be most welcome. Also I can tell you this much, I think I'm done trying to over winter plants, not worth the headache with these aphids.
