Delouse your garden with ladybugs

On a warm spring day, I was pleasantly surprised by my first lady bug sighting of this year. Ladybugs are considered lucky in many cultures, and no wonder! These little lucky miracles protect our plants form aphids. 

Don’t let their cute as a button looks deceive you, ladybugs are ferocious predators. A single ladybug can eat over a hundred aphids a day!

How to grow awesome strawberries

 In my little garden I have a square meter raised bed which I filled with some of my favorite summer fruit; strawberries! Oh the joy of a fresh picked strawberry on a warm summer day. And strawberry jam. And strawberry tart. And strawberries for desert. Yes I love strawberries.

I bought some strawberries at the start of spring last year, and didn’t get any strawberries of them. I was so sad and blamed my poor gardening skills, until I learned that strawberries usually need a year to settle.

In my ‘oh why art thou not growing’ quest I found some more very useful tips. I am sharing my top 5 with you today.
