Yup, looked like it might have gotten a little too cool down there for the aphids as most looked dead to me. Either that or they didn't like the taste of Chocolate Habanero. I picked the few pods left and did a serious cutback on the plant. I'm going to purchase the Safers soap tomorrow just in case they show up elsewhere. Thanks for the help guys - the warm weather is coming.
