Lacewings and Chard!

Red cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, collard greens, and mustard greens. Bring on the first frost! The "front yard green's" garden, as we are calling it, is coming along. We finally got some mulch on it, and pulled the first wave of weeds, but we still need to finish out the border with some free rocks from the office. Its to muddy to get back to the rock pile, so we will have to wait for the rain to stop.


Some good ol' fashion Swiss Chard. My favorite thing to eat in the winter!


Lacewing eggs. These guys are quite welcome to set up shop and wage war on some aphids!


Black-eyed peas for the new year!

    Can you buy lacewings to take care of the aphids?

    I don't know if you can buy them? Maybe at the Natural Gardner. These came in through pure ecological recruitment, so to speak.
