RE: The First of Many {Squash and More for the June Garden Update}

in HiveGarden2 years ago

I hope you get plenty of delicious squash in no time. We just grilled some last night--heaven!

Such a great use of tree branches, right? I'm usually not as inventive, but I give my guy credit for finding ways to use just about anything before resorting to buying something new.

Now it's time to make some homemade bug spray because the mosquitoes are already in full force enjoying the garden as much as we do...

Hello there. What do you use for the bug spray? We take a tablespoonful of apple cider Vinegar before going out during mosquito season, that seems to help. But I always like to hear what others use.
Enjoy the day.

I need to look up the exact ratio I've used in the past, but it's a mix of citronella, peppermint and tea tree essential oils in a witch hazel base. Doesn't help when the buggers bite me through my yoga pants, but at least it helps keep some of them at bay. They are brutal!

My other half has talked about building some bat houses to put at the back of the yard to help with the bug population, but he hasn't started that project just yet.

That's funny, @thebigsweed has also talked about building bat houses, nothing yet, someday, I am sure. As he would say, put it on the list.
