That could well be.
At least one of them came up in time to give y’all some yummies.

Is the “mosquito bush” one of those geraniums? I’ve gotten them a few times and they’ve worked fairly well. You have to rub the leaves then rub the fragrance on yourself. I think it smells good. Citrusy.

I don’t know if it is or not. Smells sort of lemony and might help a little I guess, but with hubby having so many rain water barrels, ti’s hard to get rid of all of them. Even though he treats the water.

He also bought me two lavender plants because they are supposed to repel them, too. I didn’t know till I touched one of them that the leaves also smell lavender-ish. I can hardly wait till they bloom next year!
