Okra covered with little bugs- aphids and mites it seems. I'm seeking an organic remedy to the problem. I do have some Neem concentrate. Will this work? Here's a few photos. Notice there is a larger bug there aswell I don't know if it was a beneficial or not. Probally feasting on the little devils. LOL!!!

Dean, I THINK that bigger bug is a milkweed assassin, which would indeed be feasting on the aphids. When I find aphids I squirt them with water mixed with a little Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap and it seems to do the trick.
brigidlily, where do you get Dr. Bronner's peppermint oil from? I've seem to have heard of it before. Good to know the bigger bug is an assassin.
I get Dr. B's soap at the local health food store. Any of them would work, but I love the way the peppermint smells. I love the almond, too.
Okay!
