I don't have any peppers in this time, so no big aphid bait! (yes they went for the dill first!).
There are only two possibilities as to how they got here:
(1) It's been mild enough for ant or aphid to be seeking a way in from outdoors
(2) Maybe some unwashed pots. Do aphid eggs be layed on pots?
I thought I had cleaned up pretty well, and all of the pots got a soapy rinse at least. No bleach this year, I'm trying to cut back on that. Hot water should be enough to kill eggs?
