Aphids on parsley

Lee_Francis

I finally have managed to grow a few rows of fl/leaf parsley.
BUT
They are covered in greenfly and whitefly !
Went round the garden collecting ladybirds and introduced them to the parsley - about 2 weeks ago -still there !

Have any of you gardeners out there got an organic remedy ?

Many thanks

Lee

You can blast them with the hose pipe every few days or so (becareful to spray under the leaves) or do as i do .....squash them all between your fingers everyday (i do use gloves though and you do get used to it honest...Alan Titchmarsh does this)
