I love how you always introduce you channel by telling us where your garden is growing. I wish every gardener did that so I knew from the get go if they are in my zone. I also love your great tips. You are a great teacher. ❤
One of the best introductions to companion planting I've seen. Makes it simple and easy and non-intimidating for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
@@GrowingInTheGardenI mean, honestly, I've been doing it for years, I just enjoy watching gardening YT and seeing people's takes on it, and yours is particularly clear and useful--could have used it lo these many moons ago. So many people over-complicate it to the point where I'm sure many people just throw their hands up in defeat and move on, but 'just plant at least one flower and one herb in every bed' is so simple and effective. Plus, herbs are SO expensive in the store, so growing them is such a good financial decision, and oregano, marjoram and thyme are so good at choking out weeds, even bermuda grass. Anyway, yes, great video!
My tomato plants sandwiched in between basil plants are obviously bigger and stronger. Didn't realize it made such a difference until I saw it with my own eyes. Thank you for your videos!
I'm in zone 10. Tomato plants are bigger near the Thai basil. Thai basil loves the heat. Had trouble with Genevieve basil but it may have been the seeds. Thai basil grows like crazy here.
@@michellewelch6013hi, I'm in scorching hot 9b California. The trick to the tomatoes and basils, we learned by accident - partial shade. We have a fig tree that had branched out over our bed on one side and a dwarf mullberry on amorher side. We were surprised how strong the tomatoes and basils grew. The basils went a the wat to the middle to late and reseeded for the next year too. I grow basils around my dwarf fruit trees, bush squash, banana pit. We grow bananas around a put we had dug about 3-4 feet deep and 4-5 wide. We compost inside that pit. Partial shade perennials and annuals grow around and betwythe bananas. The bananas do not always get to ripen depending in wintsr cold. But the bees live banana flowers. So, yeah basils will grow all over in partial shade in 9b.
I can't seem to leave a regular comment, anyhow Angela beautiful garden there you got good job I'm up in the mountains where it's still raining at the snow line and I'm ready and willing for spring 🌱🌼🌺🥀🪷🌻🌸🌷🌱
@@ZackMartin-n1b In southwest Pennsylvania here wishing you a good grow this season and a bountiful harvest! Remember it’s about letting nature do its thing we are to just assist nature knows best listen and learn from the hands on experience of growing! Peace love and light to you and keep on growing the world needs it!
Greetings Angela from SoCal Zone 10b, I started following you a few months ago. This is a fabulous video. I started working on companion planting in my garden less than 2 years ago after i created a pollinator patch and a butterfly garden. My peppers and herbs have a beautiful symbiotic relationship and both are better off together. I manage to get in coreopsis and there's some volunteer sunflowers too. I finally grew nasturtium to put near my cabbage, favas, beets & Brocolli... I am growing a few varieties of french mariogolds, pansies, violas, etc. The sky is the limit!! Tyvm 4 the xtra tips 😊
What I love about you is that unlike others in their videos, you don't just talk, you show. I'm on the third video about the corn, beans, squash and you're the first one to show it in practice
I've been companion planting and didn't even know it. I planted basil, onion and marigold beside my tomatoes. I also have a lavender plant near by. I'm planning on adding a few other plants that you've mentioned. These are great tips and I love watching your garden videos. Thanks for sharing.
I took some of my smaller grow bags (3 gallons) that I know won't be useful in summer and topped them off with compost, then scattered native wildflower seeds on top. Once they germinated I positioned those bags throughout my garden. 3 gallon isn't really enough for the heat of summer so I'll let them last as long as they can. They'll get some shade from the taller veggies by the time the real heat hits. I love basil and I grew way too much from seed this year. I just started tucking starts in random places where I had some room. I planted a bunch of alyssum this spring and it's been a big favorite of the bees. When it dies off in the heat, I have a bunch of summer friendly flowers that will take their place. I didn't do as good a job of interplanting onions and garlic with my tomatoes. Goals for next year! My garden is disorganized but thriving. You and your excellent videos are a major contributor to that success. Thank you for posting!
Thanks for your simplification of companion planting!! I have had good luck with planting marigolds and nasturtium with my cabbage plants as well as lots of basil with my tomatoes!
Thank you for this! This is the one I struggle with most is trying to figure out what to plant with what. It’s a work in progress and your videos help tremendously.
This year is my fifth garden, but my second year using companion planting and I love it! it’s like a chaotic puzzle of color and texture. 🤩 I’m generally an ordered person, but I love the creativity of the garden!! I even hooked my 73 yo MIL on companion planting; I was happy to see her cabbages in between potato rows and onions and marigolds sprinkled all over. She’s generally been one to plant one crop per row. And my 90 yo neighbor was wowed by the variety I had! She said she’d never seen such a garden and loved looking at it. She has her own small plot, and still gets out to tend to it. I told her anytime she wants to come over, feel free!
Love your attitude, so helpful as a kinda beginner ha sometimes all the information can be so complicated 🤯 haha Love your tips very helpful Thank you so much
Love the garden layout! We're getting our vegetable garden going here in Missouri, and making videos to share it all. Looking to connect with other gardeners to learn tips and share how it all turns out! :)
Thanks for the information.Angela is looking even smarter and beautiful than befor.God bless you Angela and enjoy your garden in the pleasant month of the year.
Really enjoy your videos Angela! So knowledgeable & very straight forward…. I never feel like you are hyping things up to try to garner an audience…. Thanks!
I no longer have a yard and my condo patio is not a good environment for growing outdoors. I have a few indoor hydroponic systems and include companion planting in my plans. Pests are not a problem. I try to plant parthenocarpic varieties whenever possible since I don’t have pollinators. I do pollinate the other varieties by hand. Since I can control the environment (light, humidity and temperature), I’m not limited to seasonal growing. Most of my system is housed in a walk-in closet but I do have some of my hydroponics integrated with my house plants. Not all of the edible plants I grow work well in my current hydroponic systems so I have somethings still in soil until I can build suitable systems for those veggies. I’m semi retired but work part time in a big box garden center in Tempe. Whenever I get questions from first time gardeners, I refer them to your channel. It’s a great resource for gardening in our zone.
So happy to have found your page. I’m in the west valley, and never been great at gardening but I only usually get tips from family in the south. The zones are just so different. Excited to binge your videos!!
I just made a small bed with a tomato plant, basil, cilantro, and marigolds! Unfortunately they’re only getting about 6 hours of sun a day because I didn’t plan ahead enough, but now I know for next time 😅 Super useful information, thanks Angela!
I've actually had really good success sowing buckwheat beside of my tomatoes and letting them go into full bloom, you just have to watch out for when the plants start getting seedy or oh boy... 😆
I grow snap peas in the same bed as all my cane berries, the peas can grow while the berries are dormant & the trellised berry canes provides the peas the support they need.
Excellent information. I’ll have to watch it multiple times to absorb it all when it’s time to plant. 💛What is the lovely soft yellow flower at 00:14?💛
Best to use it on non-edible plants like trees, shrubs, or lawns, and only if you are careful about the type of detergent used and follow proper greywater system guidelines.
Watched your videos, subscribed...then nearly "lost" you, when hubby changed my computer. FOUND you again, today, and I have a question. Because of your videos and advice, I have put "vermicompost" (??) bins in our two raised beds. They seem like they may "make it" as I've had to add food once, so far. Here's my question. Can those red wriglers handle CITRUS rinds?
Ahwatukee here. Love your videos. I’ve had a couple friends recently tell me about growing okra here. Out of curiosity what’s your preferred method of preparing it to eat?
So, what do you do for cockroaches? With all those plants and wood chips I imagine it is a great home for them. Do you have someone spray around the house?
@@GrowingInTheGarden, Hhhmmm, I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong. I'm up in Prescott and started having someone spray. The garden seems far enough away. I do chop and drop on the trees out front. But even my neighbor who has a good 10 feet of concrete is getting cockroaches. But thanks for replying. I just wish I knew what I'm doing wrong.
I really enjoy seeing your garden. Though you are a few growing zone south of me I enjoy how lush your plants are. A friendly question. How do you get it that lush while gardening in a dessert?
Good question. During our cooler months things grow very well with minimal watering. I have very good soil that has built up over time and I mulch heavily. During the summer, I focus on growing what grows well in the heat and try to get it established in time to develop nice deep roots. I do water more in the summer. It can be challenging getting the microclimates and soil in your yard established, but once they are, that helps things to grow well here.
I've tried to grow Borage here in SoFlo, and it's almost impossible for me. It sprouts, but it dies right away 😢💔 Any advice? Thanks so much for any kind help❤
I fell in love wth dill finally when I grew my own last year. Smells heavenly, tastes wonderful. Ive never liked dill pickles, but fresh dill is amazing!

My tomato plants sandwiched in between basil plants are obviously bigger and stronger. Didn't realize it made such a difference until I saw it with my own eyes. Thank you for your videos!
Your tomatoes are stronger? Or the basil?
Obviously why? I don’t understand. Basil dies in my 9b garden area. What is the trick?
I'm in zone 10. Tomato plants are bigger near the Thai basil. Thai basil loves the heat. Had trouble with Genevieve basil but it may have been the seeds. Thai basil grows like crazy here.

@@sue3702hi. Good point. I think we have several basil types. We just seed them all. But that's a very good point to keep in mind.
I love seeing your garden. In the desert you grow a jungle of food and flowers. Just beautiful.

I love this intercroping crope
Good information! Thanks
Thanks great timing ws just researching this last night

I grow snap peas in the same bed as all my cane berries, the peas can grow while the berries are dormant & the trellised berry canes provides the peas the support they need.
Love that!
I have an oregano plant that survived Chicago winter and is booming now.
Thats amazing! What zone are you?? I’m hoping I can get some outside herbs to survive my zone 5a winters with months of below zero temps.

Can used washing/laundry water be used be used to water vegetable plants? The wish is to save on water
Best to use it on non-edible plants like trees, shrubs, or lawns, and only if you are careful about the type of detergent used and follow proper greywater system guidelines.
Parsley and roses
Loved your video, but would have brought it home was explaining the indigenous way of planting sister plants.

A few, monitor them and see how they do. Remove them if they aren't eaten within a week.

So, what do you do for cockroaches? With all those plants and wood chips I imagine it is a great home for them. Do you have someone spray around the house?
The chickens help. We do have some cockroaches in the garden, but they aren't a huge issue. We don't have anyone spray anywhere.

You can buy cockroach bait traps. I put them out fresh every spring.

Oh...one more question about composting. Can the worms handle flour? Or...corn meal?
In small amounts.
I live where you live.. How do you keep the rabbits out? Sweet potatoes they will eat down to the stubs...
I don't get them in my yard or garden.
I’ve been applying a cayenne, garlic, peppermint, dash of dish soap spray and it’s been working! Recipes can be found easily online.
Okra and squash are doing good
