Lady Bugs Go!

So our community garden has bugs. Our poor center planter has thrips
on the artichokes and our roses have aphids. To help prevent future
aphids we just released 1500 ladybugs. They will eat the aphids,
thrips and other insects and let the plants live. For one week these
guys will spread out throughout the garden and procreate. Hopefully
our ladybug population stays steady, we need all the help we can get
to fight these bugs.
