Most morning's I wake up and the first thing I do is hug my cats and then go outside to water my little garden. At the moment it seem one of my plant's is doing the opposite of everything else in nature. My cyclamen is actually going to sleep so that in three months it will wake up and sing its own happy song. I also planted some sunflower seeds that I got from the Sunflower Market the other day. I'm hoping they will show their pretty faces in about two weeks. While I was doing all of this I notice some pesky little critters flying around my plants so I decided to pull out my homemade garden repellent. I got the recipe off of http://www.marthastewart.com/275371/dealing-with-pests-and-problems/@center/276996/vegetable-garden-guide. I made a few minor adjustments and I didn't keep mine in as long the first time I used it, which still worked out fine.
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 2 tbsp. cayenne pepper ( chipolte pepper works too.)
- 3 cups water
When I was making breakfast this morning I noticed that my green onions were getting droopy so I remembered that you could stick them in water and they will grow. I put mine in soil so lets see which works better.
