If you don't have a hose to blast the pesky aphids with, hie you off to the toy store and buy a super-shooter or whatever they are calling the pressurized water guns this year. Some have huge tanks and will do the job. I use one for "reminding" my basenjis not to get into certain things in the garden. One shot on their little built-in "bulls-eye" and they "remember" to be good. -- Andie Paysinger & the PENDRAGON Basenjis,Teafer,Cheesy,Singer & Player asenji@earthlink.net So. Calif.
