I am officially designating Spring 2022 as the Season of the Aphid!😫😫
They are literally everywhere.
Peas, tomatoes , potatoes, etc. They are currently under control after a misting with Shield All Plus from Gardens Alive!. This product is amazingly effective having its main ingredient as Neem Oil. Also works for controlling powdery mildew on many plants.
The first clue that aphids were around was the presence of many ladybugs and small birds on and around the affected crops.
Remain vigilant and keep your crops healthy and aphid-free. And remember to spray lightly in the late afternoon or evening to prevent burning of leaves in strong sunlight.

Several tomato plants have already set fruit and the potatoes are starting to flower. HAPPY GARDENING. 🌱🌶🥔🥦🥒
