Holy mother...I just put the ladybugs out like the instructions said, at night, it literally took them about a minute to start eating the aphids. I'm impressed! Who knew that cute little ladybugs were so murderous. R.I.P. aphid scum.

Die Baby Die

Ladybugs arrived today. All aphids must die. Pictures of the carnage later. Godspeed little ladybugs.

Aphids














So not alot new going on. Squash are blossoming, beans are about 8 inches tall, cucumber bush is about 6 inches tall, and all of the tomato plants have tomatoes. The sweet 100 tomato also has an infestatin of aphids as seen above...hiss! Worry not, ladybugs are on the way and I'm sure they'll be hungry by the time they get here. Mitz's not too happy about the ladybugs but being the loving wife she is she's going to let me store them in the fridge. Hopefully they'll work out and devour the little sap suckers! Also the carrots have sprouted, but they seem to be growming very slowly.
