I'm surprised that they like chives - bummer! A local nursery suggested
we plant chives around our roses to ward off aphids. They didn't say
that the aphids would 'migrate' from the roses to the chivesVBG!

I have a window box with my herbs in and lately I have noticed black
aphids on my chives (and a few on my coriander). There are so many on
my chives, that they are all turning yellow and dying. Can anyone
suggest a way to get rid of them, yet still making the chives OK to eat
???? I have read that soapy water will help - but I dont really want
to eat chives with detergent on them !!!!
