Have you tried an insecticidal soap? Even a weak solution of dishwashing soap in water should help - it dries out the aphids waxy skin. I've gotten aphids on rose buds and leaves before. If you've got tough plants, even a strong stream of water will wash most of them away.<br /><br />Good luck. I'll check back here tomorrow to see if you have an update. ~ ConnyConnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742442227395727646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502792460630306464.post-17223554941945918372010-03-10T15:13:51.412-05:002010-03-10T15:13:51.412-05:00PLEASE! when you find out for sure, post again.

Aphids
...My guess (from googling): Sucking Insects<br /><br />Aphids<br /><br />Description. These are small, soft-bodied insects with a wide color range varying from green to black. <br />Injury. The aphids remove plant juices, causing the leaves to curl and turn yellow. They may cause a failure of bloom set in tomatoes. <br /><br />Plants Attacked. Aphids attack most vegetables, but they tend to cause more damage to peas, okra, mustard, cabbage, and turnips. <br /><br />http://www.thefarm.org/charities/i4at/lib2/gardbugs.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
