Companion Plants

I like Clarence's idea of using nastursiums in the front of the bed.  
I just walked back from visiting next door where they have planted an 
herb garden in front of the house.  My neighbor said "What's this 
flower?  I love it and want to plant more of it next year."  It was 
nastursium and it did look great in the front of the bed.  I think 
I'll try it next year.

One year I grew cosmos in with the Japanese iris.  It was a new bed so 
there was space between the clumps and I thought cosmos would be just 
the thing to fill it.  Well, the JI's were getting lots of water and 
frequent feedings of Miracid and the Cosmos became gigantic and tipped 
over.  What a mess!  The next spring I dug some of the seedlings ( 
they did self sow) and moved them to another location where they were 
more tidy.
