Good info I'll find something something for the aphids but for now I'm just gonna breath deep and go back to plan "A"/ Harvest on the 21st and take some amdro when I do.I sincerely hope I'm incorrect about the aphids... I fear that I am not.... I've seen a situation like yours before... trouble might not start for a few weeks... Keep your eyes on what the ants are carrying.... I wish you luck, and I hope I'm wrong....
copy paste.......
Aphid-herding ants make sure their "cattle" stay well-fed and safe. When the host plant is depleted of nutrients, the ants carry their aphids to a new food source. If predatory insects or parasites attempt to harm their wards, the ants will defend them aggressively. Some honey ants even go so far as to destroy the eggs of known aphid predators like lady beetles.
Some species of honey ants continue to care for their aphids during winter. The ants carry the aphid eggs home, and tuck them away in their nests for the winter months. They store the precious aphids where temperatures and humidity are optimal, and move them as needed when conditions in the nest change. In spring, when the aphids hatch, the ants carry them to a host plant to feed.
