Companion Planting

[SusieG]

As BM said, it's all pretty much companion planting with SFG, which I'm doing for the first time this year.

I have never grown any flowering plants before, but this year I've grown nasturtium, marigold, cosmos and cornflower and they're all intermingled in my SFG beds. Everything is coming along nicely now (after June's deluge) and am eagerly awaiting the colours from the flowers to arrive..!

I plant sage, dill, beetroot and nasturtiums with cabbages they all seem to get on very well and very little evidence of bugs or there damage

I would like to see a photo of this :-) sounds interesting.

This is one of my SFG beds with:
Dwarf French beans, 2 courgette plants (taking over, so I'm training them upwards so foliage doesn't cover other produce..!) spring onions, lettuce lolo rossa, beetroot, carrot,mustard, nasturtium, rocket, leeks, cosmos, two sunflowers

The bed in the background is mainly sweetcorn, also nasturtium, marigold and a tomato plant :

There's only room for a few sentences on the GYO Magazine's Allotment Inspiration pages. Diagrams would not fit!
Have a look at this month's magazine to see the format, rollingrock.
