Simple pleasures

Tired of mosquitoes and unwanted critters ruining your outdoor fun? This weekend, I whipped up some "Repel Pots" using plants that naturally deter pests.


Here's what I used:

* Mint (spearmint): Mosquitoes hate it!

* Lavender: Smells great to us, not so much to bugs.

* French Marigolds: Repels a wide range of pests.

* Geraniums: Pretty and practical.

* Lemongrass: Citronella scent keeps mosquitoes away.


Other Pest-Repelling Plants to Try:

* Citronella: The classic mosquito repellent.

* Catnip: Deters mosquitoes and attracts cats (bonus!).

* Herbs: Sage, basil, thyme, rosemary.

* Bee Balm: Attracts pollinators while repelling pests.

* Eucalyptus: Strong scent keeps bugs at bay.

* Chrysanthemums: Contains a natural insecticide.

* Garlic, Onion, Chives: Pungent smell deters many pests.


Give it a try and enjoy your pest-free garden! 🌿
