Plants and vegetables do attract bugs and squirrels, so it would be worthwhile to invest in organic bug and rodent repellent that works just as well as any toxic formula. Sweet’N Low is an excellent killer of bothersome ants. Marigolds are also a wonderful way to repel mosquitoes and other rodents while adding some pretty yellow color to your garden.
Gardening can be a healthy, wholesome activity for the whole family. Children can be taught how to water plants and how to carefully pick vegetables without taking down the entire plant. Before you know it, you too will be asking your neighbors if they would like some delicious vegetables for Shabbat!
