Leafhoppers are 1/4 inch long pests that like to suck the juices right out leaves, buds,and stems.  You can keep these bugs away by planting petunias, geraniums and perennial grasses - they hate moisture and low light.

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California.  These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids.  Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.
Save your unused vegetable garden seeds for next year's planting.  The best method of storage is an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground.  Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables.  Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.
