I have chard growing in a couple of beds. They are pretty big and look very healthy. If they start getting bug holes or snail bit, I cut off the leaves and feed them to the goats next door.

ONE, just ONE plant has gotten over run with aphids! The one next to it has a few here and there, probably just stragglers.

I know aphids will go after unhealthy plants, but this one plant looks as healthy as all of the others!

Any ideas? I cut it back to about 6 inches tall (the goats were very happy!). I tried spraying the plants with water, but those little suckers were like occupy protesters, and wouldn't budge! I didn't want that much protein in my veges! LOL
