Roses in the veggie garden? Absolutely! They attract pollinators, and add beauty to your space. Plus, their deep roots improve soil structure. Companion planting isn’t just practical—it can be stunning too! #GardenTips #Roses #VegetableGarden #CompanionPlanting

First Iris bloom of spring for us!
Irises grow well with other spring bulbs of course, but they’re also good companions with lavender, black eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses.
🌱🌼🌾

🍅 Dynamic duo! Planting marigolds next to tomatoes is an organic gardening cheat code. Marigolds release alpha-terthienyl, a natural compound that repels destructive root-knot nematodes underground, while their bright scent misleads pests above. Protect your harvest naturally! #CompanionPlanting

Not sure what to plant with your lettuce?Carrots make good companions because lettuce roots are relatively shallow and they won’t compete with each other for nutrients. 🌱🥕🥬

New for 2025: Hawaii Giant Marigold.
All the same aromatic and pest deterring qualities as French marigolds, but 24” tall with 3” blooms.
Great for planting between rows of squash.

Maximize your garden's potential with these companion planting pairs: Tomatoes love Basil, Carrots thrive with Onions, Beans support Corn growth, Cucumbers climb Sunflowers, and Lettuce benefits from Chives or Garlic nearby. #GardeningTips #CompanionPlanting #vegplotter

Do you have trouble with insect pests on your peas?
Try planting them with an aromatic companion such as basil, marigold, nasturtium, or radishes.
Just don’t plant them with garlic or onions, as they compete for nutrients and may stunt pea growth.

Companion planting is nature's cheat code:
🍅 Tomatoes + basil — repel pests
🥕 Carrots + onions — confuse insects
🌽 Corn + beans — support each other
Plant smarter, not harder.🌱 🇭🇲

Rattlesnake beans make both tender, stringless green beans and flavorful dry beans. 🫘🌱💚
Aside from the three sisters method, did you know beans also grow well with potatoes and brassicas? We plant cabbages along our bean tunnel to benefit from the nitrogen fixation of beans.

It’s watermelon time 🍉
Our trick? Planting watermelon with purple basil. (I’ve pulled it out in this pic to give the melon better air circulation)
Purple basil attracts pollinators, deters pests, and contrasts with the green vines for better visibility 🌱

Companion planting saves money on pesticides naturally:
🍅 Tomatoes + basil — repel aphids
🥕 Carrots + rosemary — deter flies
🌽 Corn + beans — fix nitrogen in soil
Nature already has the solution.

Peas are commonly planted with spring radishes, carrots, and spinach- but did you know they can also make good companions with corn? Corn provides a natural trellis while peas give nitrogen to the corn. 🌱 🌽 🫛

Doing my bit for biodiversity. Trying out a ‘wild area’ at the end of the garden this year. The family are divided on the aesthetics. 😁 #biodiversity #gardening #companionplanting
