This season Iโ€™m growing several varieties. Pictured in the video is Mongolian Giants and Iโ€™m really looking forward to see these bloom.

๐ŸŒฑDill is a repellent for aphids & mites.

๐ŸŒฑNasturtium is a trap crop for lots of pests including cucumber beetles, squash bugs, aphids & whiteflies.

๐ŸŒฑHot peppers reduce root knot nematodes

๐ŸŒฑTansy repels cucumber beetles.

๐ŸŒฑOregano repels aphids.

๐ŸŒฑMarigoldsโ€ฆpretty sure this is the champ in the garden for repelling pests and attracting beneficials (African Marigolds are great; French Marigolds add the benefit of working to prevent root knot nematodes too). 

My goal for my cucumbers is to alternate an herb and a flower. 

We want to attract the beneficials in with the flowers and repel the bad pests with the herbs (scent).

Good bugs that is (aka beneficial insects). 

This is the 2nd time Iโ€™ve bought beneficial insects. These are from @naturesgoodguys and it was a beneficial insect โ€œpackageโ€. 

My garden is naturally setup to defend itself by incorporating companion plants for all of main crops which support beneficial insects taking up residency. 

However, Iโ€™m just not seeing enough beneficials in relation to the pests (specifically cucumber beetles) that are in residence. 

Even the best laid plans can fall short, but there are resources you can turn to, without picking up pesticides. My plants are doing so good, and I want to keep it that way!!

Stay tuned for my releasing video and my follow-up check in videos. ๐Ÿ’š

What Qโ€™s do you have??
