    Does the cost of food have you thinking about growing your own vegetables?

    If the rising cost of food has you thinking about growing some of your own vegetables this year, you are not alone.

    And a backyard vegetable garden comes with a number of benefits:  

    • Eating fruits and vegetables is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy.
    • Growing some vegetables at home can help make eating healthy easier.
    • Gardening boosts physical activity.
    • Gardening is a natural stress reliever.

    Home gardeners, like farmers, sometimes have to manage threats from insects, weeds and diseases. Here are a few tips for warding off unwanted pests in your vegetable garden.

    Tips to keep the pests away: 

    • Plant companion flowers like marigolds and sunflowers that naturally discourage bugs from invading your garden.
    • Plant in straight rows to make cultivating, harvesting and insect control easier.
    • Monitor regularly for pests – catching the problem early is key! (Tip: remove the bottom third of leaves on tomato plants to help prevent mould and rot.)
    • Remove weeds and insect-ravaged plants.
    • Encourage beneficial insects (consider bordering your garden with plants that provide food sources like flowers that are rich in pollen and/or nectar).
    • When necessary, apply a pesticide to control your specific pest problem. Consider whether you can target a specific problem by spot spraying rather than spraying the entire garden. (Note: all pesticides available in stores in Canada have been reviewed and approved by Health Canada. Just follow the label directions.)
