Hi fedi, I'm looking for help with a #gardening issue. My poblano plant started with an aphid infestation, and I've treated it multiple times with neem oil, but now the infestation has spread to neighboring plants. I found out by way of ants crawling around, and saw a ladybug on it this evening, so there's enough for them to feed too I guess.

Both plants look a little wilty in terms of the leaves. My poblano has barely fruited and the one tiny one it produced so far tasted awful.

What's the next treatment step for the aphids besides neem oil? I can try and treat over and over more but I don't think it's helping now :< It doesn't help that it's been very rainy lately. #plantstodon #Bloomscrolling #Garden #homegrown
