Bringing up a family should be an adventure,
not an anxious discipline in which everybody
is constantly graded for performance.

FRUGAL GARDEN TIPS
I use old pantyhose to tie up my sunflowers, tomato plants
etc.They hold them up and the pantyhose stretch too. They
won't "dig" into the plant. ~Beth
Just wanted to mention re: staking plants. I find the best
thing to use are panty hose legs. We use them for tying
tomatoes and also hanging onions to dry. Since I retired
I seldom wear them but you can always call on friends
that do. ~Sybil
I read somewhere to keep potato bugs off, sprinkle wood
ashes on them. We had a bunch of horn worms on our
tomatoes. My husband sprinkled the wood ash on the
plants & they vanished. It seems to work on everything
we planted in the garden. TRY IT - IT WORKS! ~Wanda
