welcome guest

After weeks of watching aphids and holes emerge and re-emerge in my raised veggie bed, I finally spotted a good sign: a lady beetle.  Help is on its way!  I hear ladybugs are great eaters of aphids.

Ironically, I also saw my first ant in the garden today too.  Ants are known to protect aphids for their honeydew. 

So let the battle begin....  I know which side I am rooting for!
