I saw a few aphids a couple of days ago and decided to go to war.
I armed myself with the spray bottle filled with my lethal soap solution.
Before the battle, Jon helped me in the back yard. He gathered up the rest of the large cinder blocks and moved them into place so that when I get the doo-hicky off my wrist, I won't have to over stress it moving that heavy stuff. I will be able to tip the blocks and level under them with no problem, by next Monday. Yes I can . . my wrist will be better . . and that's an order!
Mounted the platform/artillery/wooden and opened squirt on the invaders.
When I discovered that some of them were attacking "undercover", I dropped to my knees to the armor/knee/portable/foam and renewed my pre-emptive (Jon says that means get them before they get me . . but he isn't sure how to spell it) attack.
Next, I sent my scouts (eyes) to the broccoli row . . and they reported that I wasn't done yet! Quick . . reload . . . Squirt!

I can hardly wait to level, fill and plant it!!! Long time dream coming true . . . another funny story . . . poor Jon, he has given me so much to tease him about.

y with soap and water? i used NEEM oil. it was expensive, but organic and safe to use all the way up until harvest and very effective on my peach trees. but if i had known soap would have worked...
You crack me up with your tales. What a dedicated gardner you are!
Let us know who wins in the end!
