Does anyone know of anyplace in Hawaii that sells ladybugs? I think there are places on the mainland that sell beneficial insects, but never heard of anything over here.

Maybe a good small biz idea. Perhaps the worm guys could add that to their inventory.

Forgot to mention - praying mantises would be another good candidate.

What about marigolds? Do they keep away some insects?

True. And if they don't drown, they'll be too hung over to eat any of your veggies.

Nah, it is true, though. Probably better the easier it is for the slugs and snails to crawl in - i.e., think about making it as easy as possible for them to crawl in.

Daily Horoscope for January 3

Cancer

No one can accuse you of being a wallflower today! The modern cowboy or cowgirl has a tendency to shoot from the lip and you won't be afraid to tell it like it is. Your response will be quick, and your timing near perfect. If you don't accomplish what you set out to do this morning by the end of the day, it won't be for lack of trying. Getting an 'A' for effort is sometimes better than facing the test.
