Last year I planted bush beans in between my rows of tomatoes and what I noticed that the Japanese beetles didn’t bother with the beans A win in my book!

I love the idea of companion planting. I’ve grown the three sisters twice. I’ll do it again this year. One year I used half corn and half sunflower because I read that they are the fourth sister. Food for thought.

Thanks for such great content! Our grandparents who did not have research used information passed down from generation to generation to help them grow successful crops year after year. It's good to know how to use nature to benefit your garden. Thanks again.

Marigolds definitely help. That I know after multiple years of use. Not only insects but I firmly believe it helps with small critters, too. Like rabbit and squirrels.

Thanks for taking the time to put all of this information together for us. Greatly appreciated!

One that has been really fun for me was growing small cucumbers up my tall sunflower plants.

I haven’t done a lot of companion planting, but I want to begin doing more of this!👍👍

I have so much to learn its almost intimidating

I learned last year not to plant corn and tomatoes together. They draw the same pests. My corn suffered. So bad, I pulled and threw away. I plant in pots. Thanks for the research!

[laurannbrook]

Thanks a bunch. I had no idea to keep my sunflowers separate from my taters and peas. Good info ty.

[judyrobinson]

I always try to companion plant crops. Looking to try and start some flowers from seed but I'm not sure when to start them.

[missmaziecat]

Thank you! your content is always so interesting!

[TheSafecrkr]

I've heard a lot about not planting potatoes and tomatoes in close proximity. How far away can I plant my potatoes from my tomatoes in order that I don't have a blight issue?

[neonjoe]

Regarding your comment about sunflowers and potatoes, how close is too close?
