  • Don't leave your tomatoes hanging around defenseless. Plant a few of these great companions to help your veggies fend off insects. 2
  • 1. Basil. Helps repel thrips, flies and mosquitos. Excellent companion for tomatoes and peppers.
  • 2. Sage. Repels cabbage moths and flea beetles. Flowers are great for attracting bees and other beneficial insects.
  • 2. Lemon Catnip. Brew tea from its leaves and spray on plants to drive away flea beetles.
  • 4. Lemon Balm. Citronella compounds in its leaves do a wonderful job of repelling insects. Safe to rub on your skin as an organic mosquito repellent. 1
  • 4. German Chamomile improves oil production in herbs and improves flavor of onions and cabbage. You can also brew tea from its flowers.
  • 5. Scented marigolds keep the soil free of nematodes and attract beneficial insects like ladybugs.
  • 6. Nasturtiums make a great barrier around tomato plants, deterring squash bugs and trapping aphids. Nasturtium leaves and flowers are edible, making them a great addition to salads. 1
  • 7. Geraniums repel cabbage worms and Japanese beetles.
  • 8. Petunias repel leafhoppers, aphids, tomato worms. Like catnip, tea brewed from its leaves can be sprayed on your plants as an organic insecticide.
  • 9. Rosemary repels bean beetle, cabbage fly, cabbage moth and carrot fly.
  • 10. Mints deter white cabbage moths, ants, flea beetles, fleas and aphids. Make your own mint mulch and add to beets, giving them the benefits without the danger of invasive mint roots. 2
  • Example: Two tomato plants surrounded by a beneficial herb barrier including basil, oregano and rosemary. 2
  • Example: Tomato planted with marigold and basil companions.

DIY Folding Sling Chairs

I had to make something special for the ladies that took such great care of my son in preschool. He was moving on and we were tremendously sad to say goodbye. Jack has Down syndrome and ...»
he happened to have had two hip surgeries (both requiring body casts and wheelchairs) while he was in their class and they went above and beyond for him. So I went to my lady Ana's site, www.ana-white.com and found these easy plans. They were thrilled to receive their special chairs and I hope they put their feet up a lot during the summer, because they deserved it.

$60 Bathroom Makeover

My guest bathroom wasn't too bad to start with, but it was super dark. Just a few dollars in updates made it bright, crisp and clean! With help from an $11 board and batten treatment :)
