The soapy water was triumphant! The aphids have retreated!
Unfortunately, the human forgot to follow up with non-soapy water for a week and a half, but there are a few hopeful little growth spurts happening.

I tried diluted dish liquid soap, though probably didn't dilute it enough or overapplied it. Seaweed sounds gentler to the plant. I have heard that ladybugs like to eat aphids, in case that is an option for your garden. Best wishes for your aphids and a break in the rain!
