Since it’s the time of the year for you to be, or thinking about getting this year’s garden in the ground, then there’s another little part of gardening you need to be considering here pretty quick. Insect control.
In all my years past, my insect control consisted of (after taking a trip down south of the border several years back, and picking up a few 55 gallon drums) of one particular pesticide, after it was banned here in the U.S.
By doing so, you know, buying a little extra to put up, thus insuring always having a little on hand. My personal weapon of choice in combating the insects in our garden--DDT!
Not really, but I have been using pesticides. As a matter of fact, I used liquid Sevin just a couple weeks ago. But I usually only spray the garden twice. I use liquid Sevin the first go around, then later I come back with a spray of Malathion.
These two sprays do real well for us, and Deb and I still have one good eye apiece, most of our teeth, and at least three fingers on each hand, believe it or not! Not bad considerin’!
Here in Florida the bug populations explode with the onset of spring. This simply is how we control our bugs and I remember Dad doing the same thing. Now Granddaddy…he may have been a DDT man, I just don’t remember.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
