The lettuce in our cold frame is growing wonderfully. But the aphids have discovered the bounty and moved in. I can't blame them, it is sheltered and well stocked with luscious provisions.
They haven't done any noticeable harm that I can see, but every time I pick lettuce, there is more of them. I've just been washing the little guys off. (Annette, you'll notice that I wrote about this AFTER you had salad at our house last night! Don't worry, a little extra protein never hurt!) I'm afraid they will start doing major damage if they keep increasing. There is also lots of ants in the cold frame, too. I've heard that sometimes ants raise aphids.
I hate use chemicals on something we are eating. Do you have any suggestions?
