Things I have learned about gardening that I hope will help you. My main focus is vegetable gardening. Anything that I think is helpful regarding outdoor plants and pests I will post.

Bugs on Basil
I am guessing that these are aphids on my basil. This is a first for me. I was being lazy and used an insecticidal soap to spray them. Normally I keep a 2 quart spray bottle ready for all little bugs on plants indoors and outdoors. I put about 1 inch of dish detergent in the bottle and fill the rest with water. Don't use dish soap. Dish soap will not kill the bugs. Is there even such a thing as dish soap anymore?
