    They are here and war has been declared, swede and sprought plants are under attack from black aphids, no green ones yet I don't think. The cavelry has arrived in the form of one ladybird (a bit outnumbered) so trying some Neem oil.

    I just crush them to death with my fingers. Messy but effective.
