The advantages of companion gardening comes to light every spring.
As the cole crops and lettuces begin to climb up to their harvesting size,
the marigolds, radishes, and onions are in full protection mode! No, they don't

they confuse insects with their wonderful fragrances which keeps their leaves
hole-free! This is where careful planning begins to pay off.
And then there's the artist in me that just appreciates a pretty vegetable garden!
