    Oh no! Even after putting ladybugs in my little cabbage tunnel, I still have aphids a week later. I've removed as many as possible and sprayed them with a good stream of water. I am determined to eat these cabbage so any tips would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    Columbia—I spray aphids with soapy water a few days in a row, but first I mash the colonies with my thumb. It is rash, but I cannot abide them in my veggies. I only do this in the veggie plots aphids in other places I use other measures. Good luck combating these mean-o’s.
