I also planted the store bought green onions and it worked fine until the aphids showed up - how do you control them? (they reproduce profusely and asexually basically cloning themselves)

My grandpa swore by Sevin, and my father in law uses diluted Dawn soap. Based solely on the chemical content, I'd start with the soap.

Also - predators. You can buy ladybugs in most garden centers for almost nothing, and they eat aphids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Literally.
