Cr0ak, I heard that too about marigolds attracting red spider mite. I think your conditions are just too humid. Can you grow wild fennel where you are? it's a lovely plant and attracts a lot of preditors - specifically hover flies. They see a lot of the nasties off in my garden. I've got some spare seed if you are interested. Just Dmail me.
Katie and zhinu - I LOVE being in the sticks despite the lack of services. I have a huge garden and donkies in the field behind me. I wouldn't swap with anyone for all the technology in China. LOL. Even if I come to the small town of Cavan to catch up on email I can't wait to get home again. On top of that I got this view from my window.
