Hi Susan.  Since you're hardening off the lil' sprouts they're big and
strong enough for Sun Oil. Its tres organic...98.8% Paraffinic Oil and
1.2% Emulsifier (soap...) and as close to a magic bullet as ever I've
found for everything from aphids to fungi.  It can go on right up to the
day of harvest and the pests can't develop a resistance to it because
its a simple, mechanical respiration blocker, not a poision.
I get mine as SunSpray Ultra-Fine Year-Round Pesticidal Oil from Sun
Company Inc. through Gardens Alive!  Not an aphid in an acre!

Good luck
