Ladybugs In the Garden




Ladybugs are beneficial insects in the yard and garden, and eat many other insects that harm gardens and crops. They are fascinating to watch as they walk or fly around our properties. Each Spring, one solitary ladybug makes its way into the house and onto my bedroom window ledge. I like to think it is the same ladybug each year, heralding the spring and summer season, and calling all gardeners to their upcoming tasks.



I found this ladybug wreath for my garden gate at Country Village, and it lends a spark of color to the raised beds of vegetables. It joins the red geranium baskets on the garden fence, and the red William Shakespeare rose between the rhubarb and the gladiolas.
