Next year I may just transplant a couple to a pot. It would be plenty of seed and some bugs. They could be kept more out of the way that way; by the end they blocked the path and I was walking around the bed. That dermatitis is a worry; more so than first year. But I absolutely love that there are so many ladybugs in my back yard!
That spot is the top of my 30ft bed, below it was 26ft of eggplant and peppers under agribon. I removed that today for good. There are larvae, orange cocoons, and ladybugs all over the place. Way more than I have ever seen! And the bee flies were really neat to watch. I have seen a few before, but not so many different kinds or so content to be studied.
