Every year I grow sugar snaps, they attract a sizable population of aphids, this year is no different. Anyone ever experience this? I've never done anything about them and I've really never noticed any ill effects from them.

Hi @Doelman , although I don`t grow vegetables - too busy, too old, too worn out, :rolleyes: I am interested in your observation, and hold the same view. I prefer not to use insecticides or herbicides on my patch here, and I find that it all sorts itself out.
Of course, if aphids become too much of a nuisance at times, a quick squish with a little soapy water evens things up a bit.
