Does anyone have any suggestions about companion planting?
I'm considering planting some sunflowers in with my veggies. I am also thinking of moving some things from the left to the right bed, since my greens (salad/spinach) are wilty and not growing well. I knew that was a risk to planting so late...no big deal there.
The right bed is not quite as much full sun as the left though...so what to move? Not sure.
But...I'm thinking of adding sunflowers to help some things trellis up. I'll also be putting out some marigolds I sprouted in April and then sowing some more marigold seeds amongst the veggies to repel the bunnies and other pests.
Considering propagating some of my other herbs (sweet basil, chamomile, lemon balm?) to place in the veggies too...basil with the tomatoes for sure.
I'm also strongly considering rooting some lavender, wormwood and rosemary to plant around the garden (they are elsewhere in the yards.)
Ideas? Suggestions?

Oh sister... I love companion planting. It is really the only way to do things. I don't even make rows at all anymore... My peas and radishes and violas are all together in one bed (scattered) and in the back there are sunflowers and borage, in the front there are two flat leaf parsley plants. That is one small bed. My tomatoes, basil, fennel, mums, pineapple sage, currents, strawberries, and more hearts ease violas are in the next bed over. They have a few volenteers that I have left for variety as well. Some cilantro and even a marigold.
It looks messy, but my plants are always happy. I haven't had anything die yet...
Oh and put your salad greens in the "less full sun" bed. Spinich, salad greens/lettuce, mints, oregano, lemon balm, cucumbers/squash, cilantro (I put my cilantro, spinich, and musclin mix all in the same bed scattered, and treat them all like cut and come again lettuce... they all come back and are perfectly happy being together)... they will all be happier there than sun lovers like annual herbs (basil, savory) or fruit like, tomatoes.
I love your garden blog, btw. :)

Basil with Tomatoes always comes up doesn't it? Seems to be the most popular combo for companion planting. I'd suggest, but I don't really know of others. I hear mints drive away insects so they might be good around.
Thanks to my father who shared with me regarding this website, this
website is in fact amazing.
