Mosquitoes Hate Basil

 

My husband and I decided to enjoy a quiet evening on our back patio.  The birds were singing.  The sun was setting.  A gentle breeze was blowing.  It was almost a perfect evening.

EXCEPT THE MOSQUITOES.  One mosquito after another either attempted or succeeded in biting our legs.  Those horrid little creatures threatened to drive us back in the house… until… I remembered THIS ARTICLE.

Since I happen to have basil growing in a pot on my patio.  I pulled the pot of basil between my husband and I.  Amazingly,the mosquitoes seemed to leave us alone after that.  A couple basil plants on my patio has just become my newest summer must-have.  I think this summer has just gotten a lot more tolerable.
