Mary... and all,
Tell me more about the aphids on seedlings. This is my third year to grow
seedlings and for the first time I am really being bothered with what I think
are aphids. With the naked eye, they look almost like tiny pearls; but with a
magnifying glass, I can see a separate head and body and white legs. I have
been trying to get rid of them with insecticidal soap. It seems to kill them
and then they turn dark, but a whole new crop seems to appear each day and I
am afraid of injuring the plants with too much soap. I am also keeping a fan
on the plants. Any suggestions - or might they be something other than
aphids?
Thanks
Bev Stegeman
