Sunflower is my favorite companion plant, as it attracts ladybugs, and keeps the aphids away
I wish there was a plant to keep away box alders- we got bombarded last autumn- it was absolutely ridiculous.
Are you trying out any interesting flower varieties this year?
I'm ding zinnias, camellias, hibiscus, snapdragon, echinacea, skullcap and calendula for the moment. I have a special area in the front herb garden bed with flowers spattered throughut to bring some vibrant colors to the drab green from all the other herbs.
Lots of fun varieties. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
