Review & Description

A favorite "good bug," ladybugs have been a popular beneficial insects for the past 20 years. When released at sundown (because they don't fly at night), ladybugs eat aphids, mealy bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and other destructive pests. And they keep on eating until the bad guys are gone, laying their own eggs in the process. When new pests arrive, fresh ladybugs will be waiting. You will love them because ladybugs really work, plus they will be doing something favorable for the environment. LADYBUGS (Hippodamia convergens)

USE: Ladybugs prefer to eat aphids and will devour up to 50 a day, but they will also attack scale, mealy bugs, boil worm, leaf hopper, and corn ear worm. Read more

By Candace Hennekens

Review & Description

What happens when a smart, beautiful woman who knows nothing about farming decides to buy a farm with her father who know only a little more than she does? "Sweet Farm of Mine" tells the story of Ruthie and Arlan who set out to own a little piece of heaven. And while it's not always heaven, not when heaven opens up and sends rain for weeks just when planting needs to happen, the beauty and goodness of living in rhythm with the land and the seasons, is just what Ruthie needs. Old Charlie, the bachelor farmer who sold his farm to the daughter-father duo, captures Ruthie's heart just as she captures his. Ruthie has a lot to learn about cattle, crops, and country ways. This is her journey. Read more
