If you spray the lady bugs with sugar water before you release them it will keep their wings closed for a few days or until they get rained on, by then hopefully they have colonised in the area.

no.
we have a colony of lady bugs that come every year for the aphids on this one bugs we have, they lay eggs and the larva form and a few weeks later ladybugs, they come every year but dont seem to fin my garden so i place them theri on purpose, if theri is constant food supply they will come back the next year. ive already seen lady bugs showing up here but not in huge numbers like i want.
as for the mantis the lady i was talking to said just like the ladies that if the food supply is enough for them they will nest theri over the winter and come back again or something like that, we have lots of bugs in our yard.
so pretty much as long as their is food, they will stay.
your garden is looking good to man, i was thinking of putting out my cold crop starts here soon, we are supposed to have nicer weather for awhile here soon, highs are supposed to reach 70.
and whodat that is a great idea, if they try to leave the garden i will spray the next batch. i wont be adding these though till a few weeks after the plants are in the ground, this way they will have a place to hide from predators

thanks! good to know if i ever want to use them, though last year i didnt have much for buds except some spiders! some fucking nasty ones too ahah!
nice MC, i didnt know that created colonies as ive only seen them mainly solo. i completely understand about the food, haha as ill always flock to the place where im being fed! hope which ever one you decide works out for you. thanks for the compliment on the garden, it should be blowing up here in the next month or so. some hot weather is in the forecast and im pretty sure we got the majority of our last winter storms in for the year. still got a good month before i pop some of my seeds of MJ that i made in the ground! just a couple small ones.

well i picked up a bunch of used 4 inch pots for 5 cents a piece. all they needed was a bleach water wash and they were new again.
i transplanted around 30 plants today i was gonna do more but i need more trays first, so here soon every thing will be in the 4 inch pots, and i will have more room in the grow room, it is a bit crowded ATM but its all good.
heres a few pics of whats going on. every thing is healthy as can be. all plants will get a shower of neem again here in a few days.
im also going to be putting my cold crop plants out very soon.
just noticed the fish tank in thier, ill just leave it up.

i forgot to ask but did you steal my cat?
j/k man. i dont really like cats much but when i was around 14 i had a cat that looked just like yours but a bit bigger. it was the only cat i ever owned. his name was Mohamed, and man this was one hell of a cat, when we would drink jack and Pepsi he would walk up and start drinking it so we just let him drink it if he wanted it, he also ate weed, loved to be in the circle when the pipe was around and burning, and he even liked shrooms.

ya i like them already a bit heavier but they last so much longer.
i would look around your city and put up a CL add looking for used block in good condition. used blocks are alot cheaper. but if you got the money then why not just buy new ones i guess

ya he was a cool cat and i never forced him to do any of it.
i am also no longer like that, cuz like you said it got me no where in life, except jail,hospitals, and a very large debt to pay.
i am only 20 but i started out my life very young ive been through more then most people have been through in theri whole lifes.
I am glad i learned and saw every thing i was doing was wrong.
and na man you post doesn't need deleted, it really doesnt take even common sense to realize this was a veggie thread in the gardening section. i guess we also garden weed to. but the title says it all.
thanks for stoppin by d6520

All my yins are doing nicely in my flower room, getting indirect light.
Corn needs to be transplanted, as well as the beans! I started way too early I think lol. Looked online and the say the last spring freeze is usually the beginning of may... doh! Got a little ahead of myself haha.
Corn
Water mellon, basil, dill, and a tomato.
Cucumber getting hugged by some corn.
cantaloupe, spinach, Bell pepper.
Tomatoes!
and my beans starting to tangle with a ganj plant and going for my scrog! I couldn't help but laugh while I was untangling them from one of my plants

looking great with a good germination rate it looks like. a few days out with a frost definetely will not harm them too much so dont be worried about sticking them out mid april if you can. you can always throw a thin blanket over them or buy some of the covering in large gardens.

looking really good whodat. your last frost date is almost the same as as here, are average last frost is on may 15.
grren beans and peas, i also usally just directly sow into the garden with out starting indoors, looks like you should have enough beans this year though since yours will be big before they even get outside.
i to think i strated a lil bit early, i was at fred myer yester day and they got all theri veggies shipped in. tomatoes,peppers and every thing else, they all looked like shit though, all bent over from the winds and rain cuz they keep them outside

update with pics coming soon today.
i am going to spray every thing with neem. i have no bugs but it is a preventer. i will also be spraying on top of the soil with it cuz i found a few pots with fuzz mold so i will kill that quick. this whole week is supposed to be 60-70 in the day and 40's at night so all plants are in the green house untill it gets cloudy and cold again. all house plants are indoors in a window sill.
also i went into my green house after work and guess what? lady bugs are already showing up witch is very good for me they seem to come back every year and breed theri young here, so the mantis might be out cuz if the ladies are already here i dont want to bring intruders and cause a all out bug war.
any way pics coming tonight

Must be cool to naturally have lady bugs come to your plants!! Can't wait to see updates
ya it is pretty cool it is even cooler to see what they look like before they are true lady bugs. ill post a pic of the larva that we should have all over my place here in the next month or 2.
here is my pic update as well, i also took a pics of my rose bush, it has grown about 3 inches since i started it. i also found my first pink flower on my strawberries, the odd thing is all of them were white last year and they are the same plants, i know some strains have different colored flowers, but mine seem to change by the year i guess.
also i tried to take a pic of the lady bug in the gh but it is kinda hard to see.
any ways enjoy. oh ya all plants that have not been transplanted are in the house ein front of the window as well, cuz they will dry out to fast outside.
the last 2 pics are of the larva and then the larva in its cocoon type thing before it turns into a ladybug
