Vegetables/Herbs attract ladybugs

We have seen ladybugs in our Yard long beans and Tung Ho before. What have you grown which attracted ladybugs?

    Wherever there are pests, ladybugs will (hopefully) show up. Their nymphs are actually the work-horses of this anti-pest work force, climbing all over plants to find pests to eat.

    My Dill & Fennel seem to attract them, once they start blooming, they become infested w/ aphids, & consequently the plants become nurseries for larvae - lacewings as well.
