I noticed that some of my Poppy seed head had an infestation of Black Aphids.
Beginning this year I decided to garden without commercial insecticides.
I’ve been rounding up the ladybugs in my garden and moving them to plants that have had insect infestations. Here I moved a ladybug so it could eat the black aphids I found so I wouldn’t have to resort to a bug spray.
This video will accompany a blog entry on this subject along with before and after photos.

Whether you are an experienced gardener or a beginner the Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening contains tips and techniques that will help you create a healthy, eco-friendly garden. Learn how to grow amazingly beautiful flowers, wholesome organic fruits and vegetables, and top-quality herbs. Discover how to garden without chemicals, and how to maintain an organic garden year-round.
I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.

Have you ever bought lady bugs to use in your garden?
I hear that you have to let them go at night, else they will fly away.
In the winter of 96, in NH, we has an infestation of lady bugs. They were in the southern corners of a bunch of rooms in our house. They were lining the inside of the sliding glass door frame, huddled together.
It was really weird, but they just needed shelter. We let them live, and in the spring they left.
Lady bugs are a sign of good luck to me.

No Space, he is growing poppies.Not all poppies have sufficient opium to get opium out off. You might have well milk lettuce. California poppies and Sherley poppies have no opium worthwhile.Oonly certain varieties of poppies have sufficient opium to make it worth your time. Don’t plant MaCormic seeds, they grow a hibrid that produce less opium.
