Hi all,

Forgive me in advance for posting a link here in the vines /and / houseplants forums which is not topic specific but what can I say- I have quickly felt 'at home' in these 2 forums in particular and am assuming that you, (yes you!!!:) ) like me, probably are growing other stuff as well and will find this advantageous at best and a bit interesting at worst. For sure you'll be familiar with some of the info but all the same, even one new idea can often be worth a million.

The ironic thing is, I was searching the net re marigold problems I am having; ironic in that I scattered them everywhere as a pest control plant and they are THE only annual which I am losing steadily and consistently one by one!!!! Was searching for solutions that would be environment friendly plus some of them are near my strawberries, spices, herbs,VINES (!!) etc not to mention concern re kids chasing after runaway balls in the flowers or yogurt (my cat) who loves to lounge in all the (outdoor) beds .

I happed upon this link and wanted to share these tips with all of you.

Will obviously post it on the pest and diseases forum as well and again apologize in advance if I'm being out of line.

Cheers,

dory
