Nicole, You need lady bugs. The lady bug larvae will devour the aphids. I don't know exactly where you would find lady bugs in Norman, but here in southern Oklahoma, as well as in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where I lived before moving here, most nurseries have them in the spring and summer, and some of the large home improvement stores have them as well. You also can order them on line. Lady bugs will take a few weeks to eat up the aphids, but once you have an established lady bug population, they will take care of the aphids for you forever. After you release the adult lady bugs (which also eat the aphids), they will reproduce and the larvae will look like little alligator-type critters. The larvae will eat aphids till there are no aphids left. Lady bugs are the least toxic aphid solution. Good luck, Dawn Here is a link that might be useful: Lady Bug info

Do a Google Images search on both whiteflies and aphids to see if that's your pest.

Bind weed I've got! Strange thing is, I had been seeing these occasionally on the potted tomatoes as I was hardening them off near the house (still have some bindweed I pull out of the garden, I don't know where it comes from since I haven't noticed it in the lawn - that's a combo of knotweed, crabgrass, and clover LOL). I'll look for larger holes, but mostly my hybrids (some OP varieties) have FB damage with brown tissue around the shotgun holes. I've never noticed brown dead tissue around holes in brassicas, but I read that it's a different species of FB that attacks nightshade family. Overall a very buggy year - lots of spiders too, I don't mind them outside but don't like them in the house or the cars.

A number of teeny tiny fellows get stuck on the stems of my tomatoes. never caused a problem. If you want to ID those very small fellows, I suggest you take a sample to your county's Extension Service where they can look at them with a microscope.
