By Ashley Gilbert
Posted on Last updated: June 1, 2025"Some plants naturally repel ticks thanks to their scent or texture, creating little buffer zones between your home and the areas ticks like to hang out. It’s a low-effort, long-term way to make your yard safer for kids, pets, and anyone who’d rather not deal with a bite. These 17 plants don’t just look good—they’re working quietly in the background to help keep ticks at bay."

"Scarborough Fair" (#Roud 12, #Child 2) is a traditional Northern English #ballad. The song lists a number of #impossibleTasks given to a former lover who lives in #ScarboroughNorthYorkshire. The "Scarborough/Whittingham Fair" variant was most common in Yorkshire and #Northumbria, where it was sung to various melodies, often using #DorianMode, with refrains resembling "#parsley, #sage, #rosemary and #thyme".

6 Perennials That You Should Actually Grow as Houseplants This Winter
By Peg Aloi
Published on 10/18/25"There are a number of perennials that can work well as houseplants, suitable for a range of light and space conditions. Also, many tender perennials (those that are not cold-hardy in most climates) can be moved indoors for the winter to keep them thriving. Some tender perennials go dormant in winter, while others may continue to display active growth.
Moving potted plants indoors for winter, known as winterizing, works for both annual and perennial varieties. The growth habits of different plants can vary widely, and some may have longer periods of winter dormancy than others. This is why it's important to do a bit of research before acquiring plants to prepare for their indoor needs, which may differ from their outdoor habits.
Below, we're sharing a couple of perennials that can be grown as houseplants in pots."
