Default Bug spray on sweet peas..whoops.

Hello,

Yesterday I saw that the poor mildew-infested perennial sweet peas I
potted on and put in the conservatory were also covered in aphids. I
took them outside and squirted them down with organic bug spray (the
fatty acid sort). Then I had the bright idea of actually reading the
bottle and it specifically says, 'not for use on sweet peas or
begonias.' I can't tell yet if the sweet peas particularly care or not
that I poisoned them. Does anyone know why the spray is not
recommended? I find it odd since the bottle does say you can spray them
on edible peas..


Next time RTFM.
