Argh!!!! A day or two ago, I noticed there were lots of ladybugs at GA, especially on the buckwheat. I didn't think much of it. Well, today I happened to notice green aphids on some buckwheat I had pulled and dropped yesterday ---- then inspected all of the volunteer uckwheat and ALL had green aphids!!!! Then had a look at the sown buckwheat patch -- at first I thought it was in the clear, but upon closer inspection it also had green aphids throughout!!!
A Cornell website says it can be a risk of buckwheat sown in May and it even says this is the case for both volunteers and sown.
So, today I pulled ALL buckwheat and tossed it all in the compost heap, worried that these might be aphids who might move on to other types of plants.
SAD!!!
I'll try another round of buckwheat later in the summer and see if it happens again.
(I don't know what type of aphids they are, but they are green in colour.)
