Hi




I have made a few raised beds for a vegetable garden, and am looking at


creating a border to hide the fence/wall around the bottom of my garden.


Perhaps using trellis.




Is there any recommended plants/flowers I could use- or any to


particularly avoid when planting next to vegetables/fruit.




I plant marigolds.


There is tons of stuff on-line about companion planting for *veggies*: don't plant X next to Y; do plant A and B next to each other. Very useful!

Just wondering if a search for ornamentals compatible/incompatible with veggies
couldn't also be found -- specific, of course, to your region of UK.

Good hunting! (There's also the time-honored method of asking a GOOD nursery!)
