In theory I don’t, but in practice the aphids effectively topped the young plants last year and this. I’ve also pinched out one plant which dried out when I was away, wilted severely and dropped all its leaves except a couple at the top.

Have you had serious aphid issues on new plants too?

No pinching out for me looks like this. Photo taken August last year.

It wasn't all greenery I harvested 89kg

Admit it - you couldn't get anywhere near the plants to top them off.

Impressive
