Planting basil and toms next to each other are an absolute game changer, i planted both of those next to each and am happy to say i no longer have tomato horn worms 😁 although it doesn't prevent aphids 😅

I have been companion planting for years! Carrots are sweet when planted by tomatoes. Don’t plant dill by carrots they will not taste good!

I can’t imagine a veggie garden without marigolds. Always had they in with the tomatoes and squash since I was real little.

My Grandfather always had the companion plants together and garlic and buckwheat peppered the garden and roses. First thing I did when setting up our garden after buying the house was to get buckwheat to help with the soil in areas we wanted to help. I miss him so much. If only the people who bought their house knew how rich that soil is from the farm my Babci had and then my grandfather’s garden!!!!!!
