aphids, daisies, ladybugs in my vegetable garden

| It seems I have a boatload of aphids in my vegetable garden which also includes a variety of flowers including daisies. It seems the daisies are loaded with aphids. It seems there are some ladybugs on the scene. Seeing it's early in the season I think I'm just going to let the aphids be and let the ladybugs do their thing. Any opinions? |

| The Ladybugs, and their larva, will work on the Aphids, but if the Aphids seem to be too many the best way to remove them is a sharp stream of water, and a spray bottle works very well to do that. Knock the wee buggers off the plants and they will not return although you will see more within a day or two. |

| VERY well said, Kimmsr! Use your common sense to determine if the ladybug militia requires some back-up on your part, at the beginning. |
