Title: Ladybirds out & about
Post by: froglets on March 22, 2006, 17:29:03
Spotted the first one of the year today, I presume it overwintered next door & crawled out to catch some sun.

Spring perhaps?

Last week I saw a few ladybirds nestled in my as-yet-unsprouted  >:( broccoli plants. I'll be growing late sprouting brocc again as I didn't realise it was a potential habitat for the dear ladies. Will give the sprouts a good shake before taking them home ;)
