Thankyou lettuce around roots great idea what do you think and about a sunflower in the center, and a pea plant at its roots
sorry, no peas
What do you think about growing carrots around roots

It's nice to hear some ideas in companion planting. The most important in this kind of approach is that we must know that each plants benefit each other. Nice information indeed!
Okay, so I basically did everything exactly wrong. My peppers are by themselves, are shaded until late morning or afternoon, then full sun, and they're not real close together. I know I'm a beginner, but is it too much to ask that I'd have gotten one of those right just by the laws of averages? Meh…maybe I'll still get a little somethin somethin if I treat em right.
