“Vintage Pakistani x 88g13/hp (Deep Line Alchemy 11)” from Bodhi Seeds filling up my 6x4x6 greenhouse. A bit too crowded but it’s what I’ve got for now, I’m hoping to have a larger house for next season🤞

    I know Marigolds have a deterrent quality to them for pest like bugs and stay in bloom for quite a while. But I’m not sure if they’d help with grasshoppers. We used them around our tomatoes this year with great success!

      Absolutely! Rosemary, Lavender, and Basil also work in that regard with some pests too.

      There’s also trap plants you can use to lure certain pests away from the plants you care more about.

      For example, I use bush beans for spider mites. By keeping the beans near my crop, if spider mites make it into the greenhouses, they typically go for the beans first. So if I see mites on the beans, I can then take preventative measure to protect my crop.
