Hm, interesting, never heard of that problem before.  The aphids seem more 
drawn to the Milkweed (aka butterflyweed, Asclepias).  Never seen any on the 
lettuce.

Water lettuce in my pond caused an outbreak of aphids... they seem to be
drawn to it, but of course get side tracked to the lilies.... lost a
bunch of lilies that year. I no longer use the lettuce and have not had
a problem with aphids. Not sure if it is due to my climate, but everyone
around here seems to have the same results.
