Take that Mosquitoes!

I am popular.  Very popular.  With mosquitoes.  It has been this way since I was a little girl and to this day if you don't want to get bitten then just stand next to me and you will be fine.  When I came across this article on the Garden Design website I thought I needed to share it with all the other popular people out there.  Here's the link:  Mosquito Repellent Plants

Most of these plants are easy to find and easy to grow.  I currently have rosemary and basil growing in my garden.  I planted these mostly for their culinary uses, but if they could possibly repel mosquitoes that is even better!  I will also say, that even though I do have some of these plants in my yard I also still have an overabundance of mosquitoes.  Perhaps I need to conduct a little experiment where I stand next to the rosemary and see if I can walk away ten minutes later without a bite.
