Marigolds

I just read that marigold flowers are a mosquito deterrent.

I've just been attacked in my garden by tiny mosquitos and am now determined to get rid of these pests.  My backyard pool is nearby this garden so it is a 'mozzy haven'.  At the top end of the pool is another garden with marigold flowers (terribly handy in this situation of mine). 

I now plan to transplant some of the marigold to the bottom end of the pool in the garden where the mozzy's are feasting away.  I'm not sure if this is going to work or if the marigold will survive the migration but i'm going to try.

Keep you posted.

Garlic

I think its time I put some garlic in the vege patch.  I've just come down with the flu and for some reason i'm out of fresh garlic.  I usually roast this up and it cures the flu straight away.  So without any garlic in the house i'm now suffering with a full blown flu.  According to google, all I have to do is put a clove in a pot and watch it grow. 

In The Garden

Well the zucchini's are really coming along now.  I've just trimmed back all their leaves to let in some sunshine and the flowers are blooming big time.  Won't be long before we are enjoying all that fruit.  Amazing what a bit of rain can do in the spring.
