[Guest guest]

I live in down east me and the old timers used to hang a yellow flower

in the barn like golden rod to keep the flies out and I cant remember

what it was …dose anyone know what I am talking about ????

Hi, Judith,

 

 

 

If I had to guess, I'd say it was Tansy. It's got cute yellow flowers that

look kind of like a small button. Careful if you plant it, though, because

it spreads worse than raspberry bushes! If you do choose to plant it, try

to get it close to the house because it will also keep away ants.

 

 

 

It grows well up here; I'm in central NH. My dad's been working at ridding

himself of the plant for several years; I've been all too happy to take it

off his hands in *small* amounts.

 

 

 

Hmmm, wonder if it would help with our termite issue, too.
