Any Gardeners Out There?

I find with enough weeds, and/or no water, like this year, when it was so dry here, that even the weeds

all died, I didn't have to worry about the bugs -

I love gardening! But with the drought here the last couple of years, I haven't done much gardening. We aren't even allowed to water with a hose--just with a watering can. So my garden has been really sad for the last couple of summers.

But here is a site that I really enjoy. It's called The Garden Web Forum, and there is lots of good info there:http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/

Good luck with your companion plantings--my Grandmother used to plant chives with her roses to deter bugs.

 

I love gardening and found this website for you. I hope you find it useful.

My husband always plants a few African Marigolds in the greenhouse to ward off the blackfly.

Thanks for the website Following Him I have printed out some of the info there :thumbs:

 

Gwyneth, you are most welcome. I plant Basil with tomatoes to keep whitefly away.

 

This last year I planted G90 Sweet Corn-----about 1/2 acre--got a few good rains on it and it made pretty good

Also planted about an acre of watermelon---------if I got 3 melons off the whole plot I did good--------the deer got um before I did----absolutely ruined every melon off that acre

I'm not good at what plant to plant to help keep bugs away-----I do spray tomatoes and the like with Diozinon and Malathon---it will absolutely give any worm or flyin' insect a good case of the stomach rot!!!!:type:

I plow with a John Deere tractor and cultivate with an International Super A tractor
