i'm not sure if any insecticide is good for a plant that you will be eating (especially leafy plants). if the plant's just for show, then i recommend arsnic - that seems to help control all sorts of pests :-)

With all the rains we had over the winter-- I think that the checks and balances in the insect world got knocked out balance.
