Before you plan your next fete outdoors, here are a few garden ideas that can help you keep bugs at bay. And you can even add some plants to the menu!  Plants that help flavor other vegetables make ideal companion plants, and many also serve as insect deterrents. Basil is an effective herb that, when planted next to tomatoes, helps the tomato plant produce a fuller, more delectable yield, and basil is also known to repel mosquitos and flies. It’s delicious when added to many foods that may also include tomato, lemon or other vegetables.

 Budding up behind houses and in shared community spaces across the country is a phenomenon much like the victory garden of the past. During WWI and WWII, victory gardens were promoted by the U.S. government to save fuel and other transportation costs so more supplies were available to put toward the war effort and to give to the troops. Patriotic citizens were encouraged to live on locally-produced food, so homeowners planted fruits and vegetables in their ‘victory gardens’ to feed their families and to share with neighbors. Victory gardens became an important nostalgic reminder of the way Americans can pull together and work toward a common goal in times of hardship and need.
