I like this method of planting I always plant flowers amongst my vegetable. last year my leeks flowered and self seeded, I noticed a clump of what looked like leeks this spring they were in clumps of 4 I pulled one up it was the most delicious leeks I have ever tasted. I also have volunteer potatoes in the garden as much as I try to harvest every thing I am always late because of other commitments, as a result lots of volunteer potatoes. I have one that has come up for 5 years and it is not available for sale any more (Lady Christelle).
I like seeing neat all in a row vegetable planted but I do not have the time to do that instead of giving up I have put this method in practice and it works quite well I enjoy it.
so for cucumber beetles what flower are good?
So glad i found this. Thank you!
I love the garden planner idea, but I need an app. Is there an app available?
Cant wait to implement this idea. Thank you.
Brilliant video. Learned a lot and will follow on your advice. Thank you!
Love your videos and channel. Thank you!
I inherited a rather large Salvia plant from the previous tenant of my home. The bumblebees LOVE it! I saw two different species of bumblebee in it just yesterday.
I’m growing my garden in containers, and have interspersed containers of marigold, snapdragon, pansies, and various herbs (rosemary and thyme chiefly) among my vegetable pots to help bring color, attract pollinators, and repel pests.
Where do I find the garden planner?
I was just in the process of removing many flowers to make space for veg, thanks so much for this really informative video!
New subscriber!
Thank so much, very informative. Iโm new to gardening and Iโm trying to include flowers in my vegetable garden. I live in Trinidad and Tobago and my challenge is finding some of those flowers that you suggested. I plant a lot of marigold. But, I intend to keep searching. new subscriber.

I grow vegetables along my walkway with my flowers. A win win for me! Thank you for your informational video! I especially like the wild flowers!
I have a huge issue with groundhogs where I live. What are some beneficial plants I can use that they won’t eat?
Chives and marigolds
You showed sunflowers as a companion plant to sow, but didn’t mention that they – and all members of the solanum family – need to be kept away from some crops, such as raspberries and strawberries.
Very useful video. I could listen to you all day.
Here in Virginia we plant a lot of Zinnias, Marigolds and Salvia in the garden. The deer don’t like them so much.

Amazing! This is just what we were looking for. It is very beneficial that you are British, so that your garden choices & layout can be replicated here in the Netherlands ๐
Australian/American gardeners have different logic in gardening and their tips sometimes don’t workout for northern Europeans.
Canna lily for hummingbirds, marigolds for pests, and dahlias for bees
