The cut flowers are moving from greenhouse to field now, and some of them have picked up aphids. Not a big deal, in keeping with our philosophy of low-impact farming, we just ordered 9000 native ladybugs to be scattered along the infected rows. In a short time, the aphids will be pretty much eradicated, and the next generation of beetles will be ready to hatch. Through the growing season, we may need another application in the vegetable fields, too.
