Flower and Garden time

 

Garden Tuesday ! 

And Today I am sharing some garden tips  for combating pest naturally. One way is with choosing the correct plants to buy. Some of my favorite Herbs can help naturally with pests . Thats why I keep pots  of them outside my door way. 

7 Best Plants For Pest Control

1. Basil. Basil is a great solution for repelling mosquitoes and flies. …
2. Lavender. Lavender has been used for centuries to add a sweet smell to homes and clothes drawers. …
3. Citronella. …
4. Rosemary & Other Herbs. …
5. Chrysanthemum. …
6. Petunias. …
7. Marigolds

Control Garden Pests with Good Bugs

Ladybugs and their larvae feed on aphids and other soft-bodied pests. Rejoice if you see these red-orange, spotted beetles in your garden.

Spiders may not be what you love to see on your Tower Garden, but they’re valuable allies, eating all kinds of pests. Plus, those that typically inhabit gardens aren’t poisonous.
Tachinid flies, which basically look like houseflies, are natural enemies of caterpillars, beetles and shield bugs.

Kill Garden Pests with Natural, Organic Sprays

Botanical sprays can actually harm good bugs. So consider these as a last resort. If you do use the following sprays, always be sure to:

• Apply them in the late evening, once the sun is low in the sky. Otherwise, your plants could get cooked. (I made this mistake once. Not pretty.)
• Spray plants liberally, taking care to wet the undersides of leaves. For these sprays to be effective, they must come into direct contact with pests.

DIY Organic Garden Spray:

• Chop, grind or liquefy 1 garlic bulb and 1 small onion.
• Add 1 teaspoon of powdered cayenne pepper, 1 quart of water, and mix.
• Steep 1 hour, then strain through cheesecloth, and add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap (such as pure castile liquid soap — not dishwashing detergent) to the strained liquid; mix well.

To avoid skin and eye irritation, wear rubber gloves and keep the mixture away from your eyes and nose when preparing and applying it. Refrigerate any remaining spray for up to 1 week in a covered container.

Tuesday 4

 

Time To Pamper You...

 Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.

Let's talk about you personally.

1. Do you pamper yourself at all? If yes, how do you do that?

No not really. 

2.What kinds of foods/dishes do you consider to be a real treat? Do you often pamper yourself by having them?

dessert : sometimes. 

3. What  luxury item/items do you consider would be very hard to do without? (like buying books, having your hair done.. just about anything you really could do without but prefer not to.) Coffee, books , craft supplies 

4. What kind of holiday or vacation would be a total luxury with which you might pamper yourself? I would like to do some traveling. Christmas  at Williamsburg.

Murder at the Blueberry Festival

It's National Blueberry Pie day

Living in a lighthouse with her dog, Lindsey Bakewell is lulled to sleep at night by the sound of Lake Michigan’s waves—and gets up at the crack of dawn to start the day at her bakery café.  But someone in Beacon Harbor is about to rock the boat with murder . . .
 
After a career on Wall Street, Lindsey is making a different kind of dough in a pretty lakeside village, and the upcoming blueberry festival—including the pie-eating contest her bakery is hosting—is the highlight of the summer. But soon Beacon Harbor runs into a patch of trouble.
 
A local real estate agent gets pranked. A parade float gets pelted with water balloons. It’s all laughed off until the stunts start escalating—and looking more like sabotage. As the event turns into a debacle complete with rampaging goats, Lindsey’s sweetheart, a former SEAL, starts investigating. But the juicy mystery takes a bitter turn when a man—dressed up as a Viking—is found dead in a boat, and it’s no longer mischief but murder . . .
 
Includes Delicious Recipes!

Book Review:

Blueberry Festival time was going on, and someone must've thought it'd be hilarious to play some pranks that weren't really funny except to one individual who laughed louder than anyone at all of the events. Lindsey and her band of amateur sleuths eventually had to find out why a fairly beloved citizen was killed in such a weird way. I don’t want to give away the murderer and why it happened, but I will say I had all the feels in this plot. The author did a thorough job of building up the plot, and I commend her way of handling it.
