RE: I WAS NEVER PROMISED A ROSE GARDEN, BUT I HAVE ONE NOW!

Always fun to drop by and see what you and @thebigsweed are up to!

I know of no way to capture wild ladybugs. Fortunately there are many places you can purchase lady bugs online and have them delivered directly to your house.

Interestingly, one half pint — 4,500 ladybugs — treats an average size garden 🐞🐞🌿🐞🐞

"...ladybugs eat aphids, chinch bugs, asparagus beetle larvae, alfalfa weevils, bean thrips, grape root worm, Colorado potato beetles larvae, spider mites, whiteflies, mealybugs, among other insects." source Hungry multitaskers!

I think I will give internet bought ladybugs a try this year. Thanks for the reminder!

Have a wonderful weekend! @farm-mom🌹
