Little green bugs

[mommytotwo]

I found little tiny green bugs on my viola stems yesterday. And also aphids on my eggplant plants. Can anyone recommend anything to get rid of these bugs and also tell me what the green bugs are called?

Hmmm without seeing them I couldn't tell you. In your vegetable garden maybe you could try lady bugs for the aphids

For the aphids, they are only on the bottom and stems of the eggplant. We do have ladybugs, but I usually find them when I am clearing away big bunches of mint from the other garden, so will put them on the eggplant bush when I see them.
The little green bugs are on the stems of the violas, and that is in a seperate pot in itself.
