NEWS: Loving the Ladybirds

I’m always eager to do more in the garden, but to be honest when it comes to beating back the bugs on my fledgling tomato plants I struggle with my enthusiasm and my ethics – it’s a nightmare.

The reason I’m growing tomatoes is because I can’t get any taste satisfaction from regular supermarket ones! However greenfly have also taken a liking to my toms as I don’t want to add poison to my food to keep them at bay. So I had to find an alternative.

A solution came when a friend recommended the green gardener.

I decided to buy some ladybirds and after a successful summer protecting my plants I believe these little treasures are now all tucked up sleeping inside the ladybird house I bought for them.

I also purchased some food which I can put out to wake up my welcomed guests as soon as my green enemy returns this spring!
