Save Your Veggies, Plant Some Flowers

As you stare out of your windows at the frozen tundra of your backyard and dream of your spring garden, be sure to add a few flowers to the list. There are certain types of flowers and herbs that will repel harmful bugs naturally from your garden. This is a great way to keep your garden organic.- Marigolds keep the aphids, Mexican bean beetles, squash bugs, thrips, tomato hornworms, whiteflies and nematodes away. They will especially benefit your tomatoes.
- Nasturtium will discourage Colorado potato bugs, squash bugs, and whiteflies from entering your vegetable plot.
- Got mosquitoes? Try growing some basil.
- Peppermint is another great herb to grow in the garden as it keeps away the ants, white cabbage moths, aphids, and flea beetles.
