Sandi, I went crazy on coleus cuttings this year so I feel ya. On the lady bug note, this was not hundreds. It was thousands upon thousands. I have never seen anything like it. They were like that on the bottom and top of our 18 acres. They were also present in these huge numbers at neighbors who all have 20 to 30 acre plots. Thousands probably is an understatement. I am kicking myself for not getting a picture yesterday. There were already less today. I was just to busy trying to enjoy a day off in my own garden in youthful sunshine. My husband mentioned there was a local story on it just now.
