My broad beans are under attack from an aphid invasion. I thought I had escaped but no. Even though I have plenty of ants and they are supposed to clear them I have also heard that they farm them and so don't really decimate them as I would want.
In order to control them I had the rather gruesome task of squashing them in their thousands with my fingers and pinching out the tops to remove the soft fleshy growth they love so much. Perhaps I should have planted some nastursiums as a distraction?
