Is it true that marigolds will keep mosquitoes away from my garden?
Answer
It is thought that certain plants repel a broad spectrum of insects. Marigolds, chrysanthemums, asters, and pyrethrum daisies, as well as herbs such as basil, anise, and coriander, are all thought to repel insects. In addition, marigolds, when planted next to cucumber plants, are thought to protect the plants from cucumber beetles.
