I hadn't before either but I also don't usually look much in the gardening section at Walmart, which is where I got it.
Looks like this: ![]()

Only place I've found ladybugs in Round Rock is at Round Rock Gardens on Sam Bass Road, but I know that's nowhere near you so not any help at all really.

Can you post a picture of the side of that Micacle-Gro that shows the percentage of "N P K" in it. Thanks. Dutch P.S. I agree with Worth on the "1/8 of that" max for initial feeding.

I haven't taken any pictures because I put DE at the base of my plants and it looks so ugly
![]() But, the hollyhocks are still growing and growing! Most of the first true leaves to show are now US quarter sized, and the second true leaves are on their way. ![]() I love this time of year, it's like the honeymoon phase with plants before the bugs start coming out and the heat really kicks in.

Our 2016 apartment patio garden is all planted, though I will likely repot the sage soon to get rid of that "biodegradable" pod it's in. Everything is potted in either the yellow bag Miracle Gro potting mix (we had a bag leftover from last year) or the Miracle Gro Nature's Care potting mix, with some lime and all purpose plant food mixed in before potting. All of the plants that weren't grown from seed or still kickin from last year were purchased at a local family-run nursery that we love because all of their plants are big and healthy and either grown there or sourced locally. Still contemplating rehoming the Satsuma to my mom to put in her yard and give it a better chance and buying a new Satsuma from this nursery, but we'll see. I'm excited for this growing season, I think we went through so much with pests and rebalancing nutrients last year that this year has to be better!

I don't have room for anything else at all!
![]() I tried to take a picture using the 360 mode on my phone, I think the panoramic mode worked better so I'll post both.
