Sorry about your crop failure, better luck next year. In the meantime, your local grocery store should have organic produce.

Wow, that's a great idea!!!! I have heard marigolds repel black widows and scorpions, but didn't know they'd help repel the beetles and caterpillars too! Wow, a miracle plant! They are easy to grow too. Oh, I think next year's garden is going to be grand! And, we are going to plant a lot more corn too!! It's pretty fun watching the little babies grow! You are so knowledgeable Sandy!! Thanx!!
