We finally have tenants in our ladybug house! We bought a bag at American Plant Food and followed the directions to release our 1500 (!) ladybugs. One first has to soak them in cool water and then refrigerate (?) and then release them at dusk. Will kept asking me from 3:00 pm onwards if it was dusk yet. No, it isn't dusk at 6 pm, but we couldn't wait any longer.
The next morning, they were still there. And now.... I hope that they are eating their little hearts out of the aphids in our yard.
And as a side note, I will never not think of Rick when I hear anyone talk about Braveheart or Freeeedom. Ahhhhh, too funny.
