Aphids, I find just taking your hose and giving him a good spray to get them off.

This, and you can burn them with alcohol on a cotton swab. Be very thorough, look under every leaf.

I would do what springvision said, give it a good hosing. Flush the pot so you drown any little babies in there. You could also spray it with horticultural oil afterwards just to catch anything you've missed. Make sure the horticultural oil dribbles down into the leaf axles and get the back of the leaves.

is the basil still safe to eat

Yes, I would rinse off the All seasons oil but that is an organic treatment.

Ok, thank you!
