Companion planting is very important you can use other plants to keep bugs away...Here are a few of my favorites.
Mint: is a companion to cabbage and tomatoes and keeps white cabbage moths away.
Rue: companion to roses and raspberries keeps Japanese beetles away. It doesn't like to be near sweet basil
Wormwood: You can plant this as a border to keep small animals aways. Rabbits, mice etc..
Sage: Plant with rosemary, cabbage, and carrots. This does not like to be planted near cucumbers. It will keep carrot fly and the cabbage moth away.
Petunia: Companion to all beans.
Marigolds: Companion to tomatoes.. keeps tomato worm , and asparagus beetles away.
Happy Gardening...

Asparagus blue cheese rolls.... appetizers
Asparagus Blue cheese rolls this appetizer is one of my favorite recipes.... Enjoy!
12 slices of white bread....crusts removed
1/3 cup blue cheese (room temperature is best)
12 cooked asparagus drained well
1/3 to 1/2 cup melted butter
mayonnaise to taste
preheat oven 375
Using a rolling pin gently flatten each slice of white bread.
In a small bowl mix blue cheese and enough mayonnaise to make it spreadable. Then spread about a teaspoon of mixture on each slice of white bread, place an asparagus spear on the end and roll it up. (try not to let too much asparagus hang out if so cut)
Melt butter then spread with a paint brush on each bread wrap on all surfaces. Place seam side down on baking sheet. bake 10-12 minutes until crisp. Then cut the roll into 4 pieces enjoy!

Great recipes for Tomatoes, Peppers and Azaleas
Azaleas : Love left over tea and tea leaves....finished with that last bit of ice tea pour it over your Azaleas.
Tomatoes, Peppers and Eggplants: They love a drink of Epsom Salts water. 2 tablespoons Epsom salt to one gallon of water. Give them a pint of water to each plant until they begin to bloom.
Asparagus love manure apply a thick layer of manure over your asparagus patch after the ground freezes in the fall...this will give them that added protection along with great nutrients they will need to make the new plants for spring.
