Hi All,
I'm new here, and new to gardening. Just purchased a house with an established garden box. There are kale and brussels sprouts a plenty. However, I noticed there are hundreds of tiny, black bugs all over the stalks of my brussels sprouts. The kale seems to be okay. My first thought was aphids, but aren't those usually white? What can I do to get rid of the bugs without using any sort of pesticide? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help.
