Thank you, Steven - I will definitely do a follow-up about plants to attract these beneficials.
Janet, thank you for reading my article. I owe much to you, and learn so much from viewing your daily bug pictures. Thank you!
Aphids can be a problem for many of us, it's nice to hear of your success letting nature take care of them.
The birds are also a great benefit to the health of the garden - I didn't realize the sparrows were fond of aphids!
