Hallelujah!! We've solved our fly problem! Well, I believe we have. So far so good. As time goes by we'll see. It was horrendous in our backyard cause of the flies.
How did we do it you ask??
Mint and Basil.

Aloe with Basil


Spearmint with my beloved new Lavender plant. I <3 it.


Jamaican Mint (smells awesome)

The sunset as I was out there snapping these pics.

Marigolds are supposed to control flies as well but Brandon said he doesn't like marigolds even though I love them. We'll see if I can talk him into some hanging baskets.

Yippee! Less flies and a garden soon!
