What is so horrid, is I started this thread last winter. I'd never experienced bad bugs before, besides spider mites on brugs and occasional fungus looking leaves.

THIS year has been terrible. But thanks to this thread, I have been able to identify the eggs. They told us on the news we'd have a big aphid infestation. Boy were they ever right. I neemed them again today. Once in awhile I even break down and spray malathion on the bugs themselves. But it never seems to end. The neem kills most of the aphids and larve and even eggs, which is good, but spraying all leaves, upside and down is hard to do - you miss some.

But slowly but surely, I've been using my armour and telling these pests they are not welcome here. It's alot of work, and thank goodness, from people here at Dave's, I was more prepared and able to handle it. My Nasturtians got shmeeeeeered last year by aphids that lay black eggs. Look at them this year. Neem works.
