Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Ladybird Larvae & organic gardening
Last weekend my butterfly rose & erigeron were infested with aphids.
I hosed some off with water to keep the population from doing permanent
damage & waited.
This weekend I was happy to see ladybird larvae feasting on the remaining
aphids. My rose is now totally clear & the daisy buds soon will be.
They really are voracious eaters!
It’s magical how nature will find a balance in gardens.

Oh that’s what those little critters are! Thank you. I’ve seen them before and wondered.
