companion planting - let's have it out!
"Terryc" wrote in message ... 0tterbot wrote: is anyone up for some information exchange about companion planting? Yes. Generally there is very little useful information. The few books we have tend to not mention many of the veges we grow, We are currently trying the corn, beans and squash trilogy. Well, we will if I can get the beans to actually come up. It started with the corn. I ended up putting in about four lots of planting before half the 12x12 block took and grew. I've tried planting beans, but only 5 out of 60 shot and black birds ate 3 of them. Meanwhile, the whole patch is being invaded by a self sown pumpkin(jap?) from another patch. sigh. I woundn't feel so bad, but the only flowers are male, Unless they are different to zucchini, which has been a total waste of space so far as it all need hand pollination. Ok well, hope the water tank is full as everything is going to need watering this evening afterthe scorcher that today has been. In summary, we just tend to try everything with everything and see what happens. In reality swmbo always produces too many seedlings that get shoe horned in everywhere. Don't complain my SWMBO does the digging and weeding in MY plot. Agh the joys of a heart condition. The weeding is under supervision as all look like weeds to younger eyes. But I get the credit for success & failure alike. We have had a wet & cool summer so far, how I love a positive SOI. |
