Re: pests in the greenhouse

Marge and David-I think that's the best idea. I'll try it on a couple first
and I've seen a few lady bugs around. I'll go on a search and see if I can
locate some. I don't have the funds to purchase any. Isn't that pathetic! I
HATE being poor! LOL! I'll get some Safer's, which I've never tried so I
assume I can get it at Lowe's?

David, I have 656 plugs growing right now.
