Ladybug update
Well, it's been two weeks since I released ladybugs into my honeysuckle, and when I examined it this weekend, I still saw some significantly infested areas. I also saw some aphids on one of my fuchsias. So I bought some insecticidal soap in a spray bottle and doused all my fuchsias and the honeysuckle. So the result of my experiment was that the ladybug approach was ineffective.

Bummer. I liked the concept. We can but try.
At least it gave me a reason to look up an old nursery rhyme and discover a new verse of it.
Hi - I randomly found another Calvinite blogger! I graduated in 1980 - I can't believe it's been that long. What about you?
Thanks for the comments! @Dawn: I was class of 1983.
