Pam, the fungus gnats are terrible aren't they!? It's true, watering less really deters them but it's hard to keep everything dry at the same time without killing them! When my infestation was at its worst, I was waiting until my plants were just about to droop, then water with diluted hydrogen peroxide. It supposedly kills the larvae on contact and I believe it. 2 or 3 times and I almost got rid of them. I still have a few here and there but nothing like before. The cinnamon worked well for my damp off problem also. Well either that, or it's like you said.. After some miserable failures trying a multitude of things and alas, some or all of them worked.. But which one to credit? Lol! Either way, I just love the tricks of the trade you guys share :)

Since we're sharing, some of the blooming things around here. Pics 1 & 4 are unknown wildflowers (or weeds?? Matter of opinion, methinks), 2 is skullcap, 3 is Drummond's onion, all natives. Except for #5, my mainacht salvia. She is my only non native blooming already, I just love her!
