There is nothing better than being in the garden at this time of year. With warm days and nights, everything grows lustily, and the garden flows and swells with both floral and edible harvests. But for many of us, the most vexing part of the summer heat is that it lures mosquitoes out in droves.
Happily, there are lots of scents that repel mosquitoes (whilst being very pleasant to our noses!) Many can be found from mosquito repellent plants that can easily be grown in containers, giving you the option of moving them around to wherever you are sitting. Most insect-repelling plants do so with their natural fragrances, so there is no need to douse your plants, skin, and clothes in chemical bug spray.
