I have had a garden all my life.Over the yrs my neighbors raised grass now they to have veg. gardens. Every yr I buy good bugs so my garden and the neighbors are all organic. My mailman gets a charge out of me when I release the ladybugs.The first thing they do is drink water then have sex then eat. My husband is into lettuce.He begins planting it in march as soon as the snow begins to melt. He has purchase every lettuce seed out there. I can remember one yr we had lettuce thru thanksgiving in Wi. :thumbup:
