🌿 Companion Planting Tip

Marigolds are a must-have in vegetable gardens — they help repel aphids, nematodes, and whiteflies while attracting bees and hoverflies. Plant near tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers for natural pest control and healthier growth. Avoid placing too close to beans or cabbage, which may be sensitive to their root compounds.
