Summer is a Time For Eating Outdoors!

We eat outside a lot in the summer. This used to be both wonderful and terrible; the wonderful part was being together and eating lots of great BBQ and corn on the cob, and playing volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows. The terrible part was dealing with the swarms and hordes of insects, that loved it when we ate out, too, and for all the same reasons.
Now, however, I use Repell-em tablecloths and Repell-em trash bags, both indoors and out. We still have great BBQ and corn on the cob, and we still play volleyball with butter still dripping down our elbows. What’s different this summer is the fact that we no longer have to deal with any insects. Not a one. Nope. None. Zip. Zero. NO BUGS!
Repell-em products really do what they promise they’ll do. They do it well, too.
I can’t even imagine having a picnic without Repell-em products now.
Bonus? Just cut one edge off your Repell-em tablecloth and cut it into segments. Tie a segment of Repell-em around each person’s wrist and ankle, and send them off to play in the great summertime outdoors. The bugs won’t bother them.
You’ve got Repell-em’s word on that.

I showed you my pest-free tomato garden last Friday. Today, I’m going to show you how I grow tomatoes on my deck - upside-down.
I wasn’t sure it would work, but I found the idea on
Here’s a close-up of the upside-down tomato. Here, you can plainly see the strip of red Repell-em that I wrapped around the top of the bucket. Not only is that little strip of Repell-em keeping all the bugs and animals away from the tomato; it’s also keep the mites and flies away from the petunias - even when there’s standing water around them!
We plant our tomatoes in a railroad flat, and every year we fight Mother Nature and all her minions for the fruits of our labor. I’m not sure who gets more tomatoes: Bambi and his mother, or all the nasty little worms and insects that feast on the tomatoes and then devour the plants down to the roots.
Graduation parties are in full swing right now, and an outdoor barbecue is often the party of choice! With the current wave of humid heat sweeping the country, the insect populations have tripled, and an outdoor food fest is an open invitation to flies, mosquitoes, and other pests.
