So I was all happy. My herbs were flourishing wonderfully. I was even plotting to make some chocolate mint soap this year. But Yesterday I discovered something very crappy. There are black aphids all over the place. They are on the side of the house and on my herbs. Who knows what else. My mint is even yellowing. :(
I hosed a lot of them down just a few min ago, but how do I make them stay away. And how do I make the plants jump back to life? Any tips?
I read something about cooking spray. Any hints on that? And where are ladybugs when you need them?
Oh and my white sage seems wilty too. I dont' know if it is from the aphids. Maybe they suffered first. It's in full sun. Is that a bad spot for them?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.
