Natural Mosquito Repellent

Spring at last!!  Warmer days that meander into the evening darkness bringing with them the fragrant air of spring.  Finally time to get together with friends and family we have not seen much of during the cold winter months.  And there's nothing like starting off the season with a gathering on the deck or patio for a libation and a burger along with such classics as potato salad, coleslaw, and macaroni salad.



Rosemary with pansies


Unfortunately, friends and family won't be the only ones showing up for a burger and some potato salad.  Any multitude of flying or crawling insects will also be showing up uninvited.  So, to keep these party crashers away from your outdoor dinner table, try setting out a pot of fresh rosemary as the centerpiece.  This natural repellent will keep your outdoor gathering "bug-free."  And who doesn't want a "bug-free" party?
