Ladybug Release

Seeing some aphids on my pepper plants and a lot of the leaves are curling.

 I picked up a bucket of ladybugs at Skillins Greenhouse and released them in the dome because they are supposed to be a natural predator of the aphid.

Cucumbers looking good in the aquaponics tank. I have some spinach planted in the back and a couple bush bean plants in the front.





Strawberry towers are starting to produce a few berries.

The Plants

I found this garden planner website and drew up a model of what I currently have planted. So far I have 3 new raised beds built and plan to build at least one more. In the greenhouse I still have Watermelon, Squash, Zucchini, and more Cabbage in pots ready for planting.
