Aren't aphids a nuisance?

I rarely see them in my garden any more. What I did in the past was wash the plants down with a garden hose spray nozzle, until all aphids that I could see were off of the plants. Then I did one of two things: 1) Mix some mild natural soap (not detergent) with water in a spray bottle and spray the plants and the ground around them. 2) I've also used a solution of white vinegar and water and sprayed the plants and soil around them. Both of these treatments kept the aphids from returning to the plants. The most important thing seemed to be getting the aphids off the plants before any type of non-toxic treatment is applied.

If you have other ideas for ridding plants of aphids, do let us know. We never know when we are going to have an aphid year!

By the way, are those peppers that you are planting habaneros?, or is there actually a pepper even hotter than these?
