I was really hoping they'd have died off forever after the last great freeze and snowfall, but, alas! They're back in full force! I have only seen one lone ladybug on patrol, so I know I need to get more to help her out. Besides that, it's really the nymphs that do all the work of destroying the aphids. In the meantime, guess this means it's time to make up a batch of my Murphy's Oil Soap, compost tea, and fish emulsion spray and get working on eliminating those nasty buggers!
