How I dealt with a vegetable crop aphid infestation — and 5 pro-approved tips I recommend following

I dealt with a vegetable crop aphid infestation. Here is my backyard - a light blue rectangular planter with spring onion crops in it, with a large orange cermaic planter and a purple watering can behind it.

When I spotted little black dots on top of my spring onions, my heart sank. What if they'd grown something awful? But then, I peered closely at them and quickly realized I had aphids on my vegetable crops.

Instead of panicking, I researched effective methods for removing aphids from my backyard and quickly found that it was a low-effort task for my small infestation. I shelved my squeamishness, rolled up my sleeves, and got to work spritzing dish soap, wiping them away with kitchen towel, and re-potting my springy plants.
