Try your water hose with a pretty high setting(adjust the spray so it won't be too high to damage your plants) so the spray will knock the bugs off your plants. This works for me most all the time. Now, you will have do this again for several days, then you should notice a marked improvement. If this is not the invasion from bug kingdom, they should stop when the new growth begins to be old growth. Most of the little varmins only like new, tender growth. Hope this helps and may God bless you with his loving Grace, Mona

Ladybugs eat aphids!! If you see any hanging around carry them over to your ROS's!!!

Thanks! Forgot about the water hose thing. Also, would like to get some lady bugs - is there a good place to buy a bunch around Knoxville or is that a catalog/internet type of thing? I'm sure this is not the last I'll see of various bugs - yuck!
