Went to cut the first of the season's collard greens and they are covered with gray bugs. How do I get rid of these without using pesticides?

UGH....I would cut them & burn them....too many bugs...if there were a few, I'd soak them in white vinegar....

they probably are a great source of protean - saute the greens and eat them :)

aphids, spray it with high power soapy water, then put some gloves on and squish them!
