How Our Garden Survived APHIDS | Delicious Winter Garden Harvest 2021 | Guten Yardening
It is mid-February here in zone 5 Wisconsin. The temperatures outside have not been above 10F for well over a week, but indoors our garden is thriving, and we are ready for another garden harvest and update.

This winter harvest comes after we have had to struggle with an aphid infestation that could have destroyed our entire indoor garden, but because we aggressively attacked the aphids with diatomaceous earth (DE) and then ladybugs, we were able to stop the spread of the aphids and within a week kill most of the aphid population.

As a result, our organic vegetables including our radicchio, lettuce, beans, and microgreens are growing and providing us with high quality organic produce that we can add to our meals.

Our success with these natural and organic means of removing the aphids does not mean that we can become less vigilant in monitoring for these pests, but it does mean that we can ensure our garden continues successfully indoors for the remainder of the winter as we continue to prep for the spring garden.

Please enjoy this partial garden tour as we have another garden harvest 2021 experience!

My big nemesis in the Lab has always been spider mites which I battle with neem & pyretheryn. Outside, it is usually whiteflies but healthy plants seem to be able to hold them off.

I was wondering where the ladybugs would go once they finished devouring the aphids. Would they wait politely at the back door to go outisde? 😂🐞

I live next to wooded areas and I cant keep my ladys bugs happy to stay in the Garden Area. They leave after a day or two Any Suggestions I start them out in a shaded area away from direct sun Congrats

[sabbyjones]

Does the powder you sprayed not effect the ladybugs?🤔

[HickorycroftFarm]

Amazing how well your indoor garden is doing! So impressive. We areplaying major catch up lol. You have inspired us so much and hopefully next year our garden is just as productive.

I just recently discovered aphids on my grow tent that I was gearing up for winter vegetables. I tossed the most infested, and took advantage of the large numbers of Asian Beetles that are everywhere this time of year. The problem is that even though I put them directly on the plants, the beetles always seem to be just crawling on the ceiling of my grow tent. Do you have solutions? Thank you.
