I've noticed several ladybug larvae around the container garden. Then they disappeared so I thought they matured and few away. Then I found this on my collards (while I was searching for harlequin bug eggs).

This is the first time I witnessed the transformation of ladybug larvae to an adult. The change is huge! It is like the ugly duckling, the ladybug larvae is quite grotesque (spiny little critters). And it emerges from its shell as a beautiful shiny ladybug. Here is another at the early stages of transformation.

Also the basil are flowering. These basil flowers are attracting many bees...especially the huge bumble bees. I'll try to take a picture of them next time I see them in the garden.

DeleteYou should start growing your ginger for an early harvest it takes 6 months for ginger to be decent sized tender rhizomes you should grow it in one of your big mainstays pot grow it inside and put a plastic bag near a heater
ReplyDeleteGinger is a good idea. I have to wash one of them so I can bring it in. I want to also try growing some tumeric. So maybe I'll try to get 2 containers inside.
