panic!

Yipes! The pepper plant has aphids (and, of course, some ants)! Ew!

Any suggestions for how to get rid of them without chemicals? The internet tells me to mail order ladybugs (a fine idea), but I would like to move on this.

right!

i called the wasbash feed store, ready to order the super-expensive organic bug killing solution, but was kindly told to mix a teaspoon of dawn with water in a spray bottle and spray it all over the leaves.

the bugs were gone instantly.
