Have a happy weekend! Remember that weeds are just plants that are in the wrong place.

I used to spray first and ask questions later 😅 A few things I’ve learned about letting garden helpers do some of the work:

🐞 Ladybug larvae are great for aphids, so I try to plant flowers that keep them around.
🌿 Dill, yarrow, fennel, cilantro, and alyssum can help attract beneficial insects.
🐛 Tiny parasitic wasps may sound scary, but they can help with tomato worms and cabbage worms.
🌼 I like adding small flower patches near my vegetables instead of keeping flowers in a separate area.
💧 I avoid spraying too quickly because it can remove the helpful bugs too.

A more balanced garden usually handles small pest problems much better 🌱
