Just rub them off with your fingers or squirt them off with a jet from the hose.
Lay off the high nitrogen ferts and consider a side dressing of potassium rich fertiliser to keep them from having lush green growth which is a lure to aphids.

I used some composted manure around the plants recently, but not all of them and they are all effected...Spraying them off with the water hose has not worked very good. My mom suggested I spray them with 'seven' but I really don't want to have to do that if I can find another way. Also I see lady bugs in my garden...so they are there...just too many aphids for them to consume

make a mix of dish detegant and water.
Say teaspoon to a quart.......Then squirt. Under the leaves till they are soaked .

The young ladybugs consume aphids too. They're little critters, i'm sure there's a foto out there somewhere.
The numbers can build up pretty quickly so you'll probably find it'll balance. On heavily infested new growth, i just snip the growth off. Tomatoes come back pretty quick and you get a bunch of aphids in no time.
Or as John suggests, insecticidal soap is a pretty gentle way to go. They're soft bodied insects and as such are pretty susceptible to soap sprays.

oops - I forgot to say that the garlic spray does not harm people or wildlife.

Blasts from the hose has really worked well for me on my okra and roses. It's amazing really! But they do come back so check every day. They really dont like it!
