Found aphids on my lettuce today. Gasp!!!! I blasted some off with small spray bottle. This is bad news.
I have read up about aphids online. They are nasty...no wonder my lettuces look so tired. I have a few options:
1. The liquid detergent, baking soda water spray method. I tried but quickly rinsed them off the leaves, feeling it could burn the lettuce.
2. Garlic water spray method. I am going to spray some tomorrow once I let the boiling garlic water sit for a night.
I harvested some non-damaged leaves today. Photo here is a shot of the after-harvest look.
