Ladybugs

They mean business!!!
I forgot to tell you all something cool I did this weekend.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that an orange tree I had planted in a large clay pot on our deck was looking a little sad, a little droopy, you know what I mean? So I said to myself, I said "Shane, what's wrong with this little orange tree?" and I took a closer look.

Ladybugs killed us!
Well, it turns out the orange tree had little green aphids all over it, it was looking a little sucked dry, you know what I mean? So I decided the best cure for my little tree was some bio-control, in my case meaning I would go and purchase some ladybugs to kill the green aphids on my tree.
Friday I did so. You buy them from a nursery and then when the sun sets you let them go. The morning after my tree was clean as a whistle, the ladybugs were looking full and all was well in the garden of Shane.
