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.

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.

Brussel sprouts grow well in cool climates.  The 2 1/2 feet tall plant might produce as many as a hundred 1 to 2 inch ball-like sprouts.

Plant whisterias in a rich, medium loam.  Water heavily during the first summer.  Whisterias require a lot of sunshine and a warm wall to help it flower.
