While the gardens of 2026 start to grow.. I can use up the harvest of 2025 and make herb infused oils. The oils of calendula, lavender, comfrey and arnica are the "magic" in the Magic leaf lotion.

Thanks so much for all of you who came out to support the fundraising events at the Agricultural Society barns this morning inspite of the ducky weather.It is so nice to see so many people wanting to grow their own food and beautiful their gardens.

Please let me know what plants you purchased and how they do for you through out the summer.

I would also appreciate knowing what I can grow for you next year. Yes! I am already planning for next year..... 😃

I will have some of these available

Most garden pest control starts at the hardware store. It doesn’t have to.

These ten plants release compounds through their leaves, roots, or flowers that specific pests tend to avoid. No sprays, no powders, no reapplication schedule — they work the whole time they grow.

The ones most people underestimate are the herbs. Basil next to tomatoes helps keep aphids and flies off the fruit. Chives around carrots discourage the carrot fly that ruins roots underground. Rosemary tucked near brassicas makes it harder for cabbage moths to find their target.

The flowers do heavier work than they get credit for. Marigold roots change the soil chemistry around them — nematodes that damage vegetable roots tend to stay away from beds where marigolds have grown for a full season.

🌿 A few placement tips:

- Nasturtiums work as a trap crop — aphids prefer them over your vegetables, so plant them at the edge of the bed as a decoy
- Mint spreads aggressively — plant it in a buried pot or it takes over the bed it’s supposed to be protecting
- Garlic interplanted with roses or between vegetable rows helps discourage aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles

The best pest plan isn’t a product. It’s a planting plan 🌱
