as for the aphids and mealy bugs. you are quite infested and a few ladybugs aren'y going to save the crop. you may need to spray with a light horticultural oil. i buy an organic fish oil and sesame oil blend and mix it in a spray bottle 20:1 water to oil ratio. spray it all over the plants and under the leaves in the morning before it gets hot. the oil which isn't toxic merely suffocates the soft bodied insects by covering thier sphericals along their abdomen. with a bad infestation you may need to treat 2 times in a one week span then once you get things under control, once every 2 to 3 weeks should keep you ahead of the game.
