Eating outside becomes much less appealing when you know you’ll be swatting bugs away while you dine (gross). While researching this problem, I found two plants that claim to repel mosquitos naturally: basil and rosemary.

I love rosemary. I love basil. I hate mosquitos. Mosquitos hate both rosemary and basil. It feels like a confusing math problem, but it is really quite simple: plant basil and rosemary to “mosquito-proof” your urban garden.
