We were lucky, absolutely fantastic weather the whole time we were in Halkidiki (northern Greece) this spring. Everything was lush and green, and lots of flowers, after an exceptionally wet, but mild winter. Some friends said: At least something is right in Greece these days.
Yes, I noticed some aphids as well, but not more than I could remove with my finger, I hope they are gone when I come back in June. I'll try to get some neem oil, though, just in case.
