A few weeks ago I joined a community garden group that is just getting set up in my neighbourhood. Nothing had been done with the land for two or three years. The yard was full of leaves, a perfect hiding places for ladybugs. Our garden has a ton of them. I easily counted 20 within one square foot. This afternoon, they entertained me during a weeding break.
