This will be my first time growing them. I tried marigolds and dill last year to attract ladybugs and praying mantises, but I ended up not really having any pests so either the predators stayed hidden or I didn't attract anything at all, except a few cucumber beetles

Plant them with dill nearby.

When I did the two in the same year, the mantises loved my garden so much that I had little baby mantises everywhere.

Hopefully they show up. I was considering buying a mantis egg pod last year since none really showed up at all to play in my marigolds and dill.
