Default The aphid buffet

I've been picking peas for a week now but I finally realized I have been slack in watching for aphids on the peas. Now they're everywhere, mostly on the undersides of the leaves making spraying them off with water tough to do. Plus now there are lady bugs everywhere on the peas and also some lady bug larvae so I don't want to mess with them.

I guess I'll leave them all be. It's only a two to three week picking season anyway. Better to have more lady bugs. BUT... I did spy some aphids on the top of one leaf and there was one of the ladies in the midst of an all-you-can-eat aphid buffet.

You go, girl!
