Default Rocket and yellow spots

I have just discovered that some of my rocket leaves have got a little bright yellow circle on the back, that looks like tiny eggs all grouped together in a circle. What do I do?

If they are eggs Nouli you need to remove them straightaway. Either cut off the leaves that have eggs on them or crush the eggs with your fingers.

Sounds like an egg cluster to me, as Lesley says, get them between thumb and finger and squeeze.

Default Rocket story unravels...

Hi everyone and thank you for the advice. Upon closer inspection however, I found some tiny red beetles walking about on the leaves. I've tried to pick off the ones I could see. Someone recommended using ash to get rid of them, is that a good idea?
Thank you, Nouli
