Praying Mantises live throughout most of the US and Canada.  The "patient predators" will eat flies, leafhoppers, caterpillars, and aphids.   These garden friendly insect predators sometimes will munch on the other good guys - like bees and wasps.

Soldier beetles will take on almost all destructive bugs, like cankerworms, caterpillars, white grubs, slugs, moths, grasshoppers, aphids, mites, and cutworms.

With a vegetable garden planting, you can grow more plants in a given area by interplanting.  Planting fast and slow growing plants, along with large and small plants in the same area gives you a bigger harvest.

Make sure you are around to enjoy your vegetable garden harvest.  Keep track of the number of days written on the packet so you are not away on vacation when you garden is ready to harvest.
