Would that be by handful or cupful? ha! I've got wheat seeds today- are yours oat? I'd also like peas -3 kinds you listed, if you'll find more of your wants? thanks, Bea

The parsley appears to have aphids and there are whiteflies on the strawberry. Neem can be used on both of these. I have had good success using insecticidal soap on aphids, but on whiteflies it requires several repeated applications. I can't make out photo #1. The cottony growth could be a type of scale or fungal growth, but again, I can't make out enough detail. With that much fungal growth, I would expect to see some stem discoloration, so I am leaning towards a cottony scale.

Thank you very much for the reply. It's definitely appreciated. Do you happen to know of any sort of organic sprays that I could put on the plants to prevent aphids from returning once I've pinched 'em all away? I think I might try spraying them off into a ditch or something because finding them all and pinching every one of them might be a bit too tedious for my likes. Thank you again.

For a quick fix in spring I'd spray the individual plants with Neem oil for the black bugs. Spray late in the evening so it doesn't get on any bees present. It comes in spray bottles. You can knock the aphids off with a hard spray of water. They can't climb back up. You don't want to kill the lady bugs that will be showing up to eat the aphids. When aphids are on roses I just run gloved fingers up the buds to squish them.
