Lady Bug Update!

Before...

After...

These little lady's went to town! I previously posted that my poor plant in our front yard had been infested with aphids. The solution .... Lady Bugs!!! Bought these little ones in a container at Mclendon's for about $11... which I thought was a little high, but I went ahead and tried it. I was unsure about how long they would stick around and thought that they would fly away once released. I was happy to find that they stayed for about a week!!!! It was kind of rainy and cold here so they huddled together a lot. Most have now left the nest and hopefully they left me some kiddos!!

So far so good!!

Aphids Be Gone!!

Poor little plant... it's covered in aphids!! Didn't really notice them until now and it looks like an infestation! Only on one plant though. My solution...LADY BUGS. I bought some today at the local Mclendon store and hopefully they are the answer. Everywhere I read says that lady bugs love aphids so i am hoping that these lady bugs will save my plant. I'll keep you updated on how long it will take.
