Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Using The Potato As...


A natural insect destroyer! Keep this in mind if you have access to potato plants this upcoming gardening season. Did you know the juice of the potato plant is said to be of great value for killing insects? Boil the leaves and stems in water, and when the liquid is cold, sprinkle it over plants attacked with insects. It will help to rid them of caterpillars, black and green flies, gnats, and other enemies to vegetables, and in no way impairs the growth of your plants. A peculiar odor remains which prevents insects from returning to dine on your plants.
