back? - I can see new growth at the base and it will be much easier to
keep that aphid-free if all the ragged old stuff wasn't in the way.
Any advice appreciated 
where are your Lady Bugs?

Oh - plenty of ladybirds in the garden songbird - but they appear not to be ineterested in eating lupin aphids!
