OT :- Aphids are they edible ??
I had a strange and disturbing thought yesterday but are Aphids edible
?? I just though you could have a never ending supply for some unknown delicacy , just think of it , you could farm your aphids , bottle them up and sell them  I though this as I was squashing many of them who were muching away on my climbing rose  |

The message .com
from "Gardening_Convert" contains these words: I had a strange and disturbing thought yesterday but are Aphids edible ?? I just though you could have a never ending supply for some unknown delicacy , just think of it , you could farm your aphids , bottle them up and sell them I've often seen them served as a low-calorie salad dressing.
