I love how you always introduce you channel by telling us where your garden is growing. I wish every gardener did that so I knew from the get go if they are in my zone. I also love your great tips. You are a great teacher. ❤

One of the best introductions to companion planting I've seen. Makes it simple and easy and non-intimidating for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

I loved the tip of cucumbers climbing sunflowers!

I love seeing your garden. In the desert you grow a jungle of food and flowers. Just beautiful.

My tomato plants sandwiched in between basil plants are obviously bigger and stronger. Didn't realize it made such a difference until I saw it with my own eyes. Thank you for your videos!

I've been companion planting and didn't even know it. I planted basil, onion and marigold beside my tomatoes. I also have a lavender plant near by. I'm planning on adding a few other plants that you've mentioned. These are great tips and I love watching your garden videos. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings Angela from SoCal Zone 10b, I started following you a few months ago. This is a fabulous video. I started working on companion planting in my garden less than 2 years ago after i created a pollinator patch and a butterfly garden. My peppers and herbs have a beautiful symbiotic relationship and both are better off together. I manage to get in coreopsis and there's some volunteer sunflowers too. I finally grew nasturtium to put near my cabbage, favas, beets & Brocolli... I am growing a few varieties of french mariogolds, pansies, violas, etc. The sky is the limit!! Tyvm 4 the xtra tips 😊

What I love about you is that unlike others in their videos, you don't just talk, you show. I'm on the third video about the corn, beans, squash and you're the first one to show it in practice <3 Not to mention how amazing your garden looks. I didn't see just the usual rows but luscious and vibrant plant combinations.

I took some of my smaller grow bags (3 gallons) that I know won't be useful in summer and topped them off with compost, then scattered native wildflower seeds on top. Once they germinated I positioned those bags throughout my garden. 3 gallon isn't really enough for the heat of summer so I'll let them last as long as they can. They'll get some shade from the taller veggies by the time the real heat hits.

I love basil and I grew way too much from seed this year. I just started tucking starts in random places where I had some room.

I planted a bunch of alyssum this spring and it's been a big favorite of the bees. When it dies off in the heat, I have a bunch of summer friendly flowers that will take their place.

I didn't do as good a job of interplanting onions and garlic with my tomatoes. Goals for next year! My garden is disorganized but thriving. You and your excellent videos are a major contributor to that success. Thank you for posting!

This might be the best video I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge in such an easy and visual way!

[jackieadams]

Thank you for this! This is the one I struggle with most is trying to figure out what to plant with what. It’s a work in progress and your videos help tremendously.

[sarahchambless]

Thanks for your simplification of companion planting!! I have had good luck with planting marigolds and nasturtium with my cabbage plants as well as lots of basil with my tomatoes!

[Elizabeth-hdkd]

This was just what i needed to see today! Thanks☺️👍

[LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Thank you for the tips, I'm growing some of them in my garden.

This year is my fifth garden, but my second year using companion planting and I love it! it’s like a chaotic puzzle of color and texture. 🤩 I’m generally an ordered person, but I love the creativity of the garden!!

I even hooked my 73 yo MIL on companion planting; I was happy to see her cabbages in between potato rows and onions and marigolds sprinkled all over. She’s generally been one to plant one crop per row.
And my 90 yo neighbor was wowed by the variety I had! She said she’d never seen such a garden and loved looking at it. She has her own small plot, and still gets out to tend to it. I told her anytime she wants to come over, feel free!
