Greenfly

I have just been in my green house and discovered little green bugs on my herbs especially my thyme. Any suggestions how to get rid of them without causing further damage!!!

Squirt with soapy water - a bit of washing up liquid in a hand sprayer works ok. It doesn't harm the plant - or you when you come to eat it - but it breaks down the waxy coating of the insect so it dies.

Or you can squish them between your thumb and fore-finger. That's why gardeners have green fingers!
