@sharon, thank you so much for the info! I have starred the posts so I can go back to them and refer when I start planning my garden. I have many of the plants you mention so it should be easy for me to do. I am not familiar with tansy though. I do have rue and have been very happy using it around my roses but I have been getting JB damage to my zinnias the past couple of years so maybe I'll plant some here and there in the flower garden.
