Last weeks temperatures were all over the place from an all time record setting 90 degrees for a high at the house on Monday to a high of only 58 on Thursday. Another heat wave forecast to begin on Tuesday and go through much of the week. With all the hot weather this year I noticed aphids in the birch trees, I aquired a couple of containers of lady bugs each with 1,500 lady bugs to add to the greenhouse. I don't have any aphids in the pumpkin greenhouse and I intend to keep it that way. Last time we had aphids at this level was in 2004 and 2005 down on the peninsula. I used lady bugs in the pumpkin greenhouse during those years as well with good results.
