I sprayed them with a chili pepper water mixture, but that didn't work.
I then added some dish soap and turned the nozzle to a harder stream and that seemed to work.
Until I saw these teeny fuzzy grey-beige-y worms...I had to put on my specs to get all of them off!
Not to mention I had to check on the plants every morning for almost a week...
I used the liners I have for my garbage basket in the sink, they are soft and made of poly-something-something but allow the plants to get air.
It seems to be working.
It doesn't look like it but, the one in the pot on the left just started to sprout.
The kale (which also got attacked by the green aphid looking thingies) isn't doing to well, but the swiss chard and two types of parsley (italian and cilantro) are doing fine.
How is your garden doing?

Good idea to use the poly-something-something. Me and Kona do snail patrols at night. Last night I was a little too late and a snail ate through a good bit of one of my succulent plants.
I was surprised... It sounds so difficult. And your creative ideas are so fine!
boo to the snails, Jalna!
Thanks Kozue :)
Take care you two.

My garden is done for the season. Pulled out all the toms, the zukes, and just letting the rucola go to seed so that they can manage on their own next year. Speaking of next year....it had better be good summer. I dunno what happened this year.

Take care.
