[quote=Anonymous]The ladybugs you buy will be in your garden for about 10 minutes and then fly away. You can blast aphids off with water, just do it in the morning. If that doesn't work, try an insecticidal soap such as Neem or Spinosad. Your tomatoes should be fine, but try to plant some flowers (zinnias) and flowering herbs (dill) that attract insects that will eat the aphids. The issue with the cucumbers is more complicated. It sounds like you may have bacterial wilt, often brought on by cucumber beetles. http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/help-for-the-home-gardener/advice-tips-resources/pests-and-problems/diseases/bacterial-spots/bacterial-wilt-of-cucumber.aspx[/quote]
