- Intercropping has many benefits. But the big one is protecting the soil and growing more food in less space. As a high intensity organic gardener this can be a huge asset to us. These are the plants you can plant with tomatoes that make excellent intercropping choices. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com
Intercrop with tomatoes:
-beans (sun)
-herbs: *thyme, sage, oregano (shade)

Thaaaaaank you!!!
Gosh he's so handsome
Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you!
Great episode! companion planting is ages old and practiced by Native Americans, so awesome job here on a very important gardening practice, it even works in bucket and large pots (just watch the crowding and plant size when you choose what to put in). In the "Tomato Patch" I like to use herbs between bushes, mixed root veg (we mix our root veg, carrot, turnip, radish, beets all together, not planned rows, grandpa said it reduces pests and fungus, probably because the root length is staggered and varried preventing spore cluster populations and parasite colonies) on the long sides and I put alysum and marigolds in the corners. so a bit of everything! I generally have very few pest issues, I do not bug spray other than vinegar, or baking soda water. I pick my heaviest tomatoes before a rainstorm to prevent splitting (grandma says, lol)...Hope the old-school info helps someone
I would love some examples of what kind of companion planting you do in your buckets/pots! (My potatoes will be in 10-gal grow bags this year, and my lettuce is always in deck boxes! Everything else is in raised beds! Thanks for any info!!
I can't deal with too much order. I am setting up a bed first time with rosemary, basil 2 kinds. Tomato. Sage.peppers. Celery. Parsley shaded by the bigger bushes. I am adding more until its full.
I love this..mixing the root veg.

I will be planting beets and carrots all around my tomatos in 2023 season! Great tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My grandma grew the most bountiful 1/3 acre garden and she always grew marigolds at the base if her tomatoes because she said they were natural pest control. Her tomatoes always looked picture perfect.
I do the same thing. Actually I surround my entire garden with tons of marigolds!
Maybe bugs but not fungus.
What it does is attract bugs that eat the pests.
Having marigolds & other annuals also attract pollinators to the garden.
@@TheSunRiseKid
Me too, everywhere! I love them anyway, but beneficial too 👌
Skip to 4:30 if you have already decided to intercrop and you want to get straight to the good combinations. 🤠 MIgardener is fantastic!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You have REALLY boosted my gardening this year.
blueconversechucks 😉
Lol thank you I'm on a short work break and this helped me
Bianca Jordan hope the rest of your week is AWESOME ( and fast !!!)
5:43 if you want to hear what plant's you can plant together.
Intro is way to long.
VERY MUCH THANK YOU. he has a lot of unnecessary words
Outside area- beans
Inside area- thyme, sage, oregano, basil, lettuce, radishes, parsnips, carrots, beets
Thomas Bogle 👊🏼
Very helpful. Thanks!
You're doing the Lord's work
You forgot the onions. :-)
And marigolds on the outside
What a great video, I just built my raised beds and have been skeptical about putting my tomato plants in the bed. Then the thought that I can put lettuce and onions in with them, I am so excited. I am a new gardener, my husband Steven was the one with the green thumb. He died of small cell lung cancer 5 years ago. I have been playing in the garden since he has been gone! Prayers all the garden will be something that will produce! Hey I had volunteer tomatoes from my little compost bin, should be interesting what they turn out to be. There were three different tomato plants in there, guess I will call them the Lober tomatoes. Thanks again for sharing, always open for new ideas keep me in your prayers.
Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure your gardening adventures will keep your husband and his green thumb in your thoughts.
Put carrots around the base of your tomato plants. There's actually a book called " Carrots love Tomatoes "
It's a guide to companion planting
Sorry for your loss Linda.
I imagine your husband is so proud of you. It sounds as if you are standing strong. Keep up the great work.
Sorry for your loss of your husband. I lost my partner of 33 years to stage 4 small cell lung cancer. Less than a year from no idea to passing on, I know how difficult that was and is. I was the gardener and love that you're taking that up, you honor him well. Gardening gives a sense of purpose and nurturing that takes a hit after a huge loss. It's so nice to have something to care for with gardening and it's food for the soul.
I think you're the best "teacher" on UA-cam. You don't just supply tips/advice, you also very clearly explain WHY your advice is good such that we can understand it. Thank you 👍
I have been planting marigolds, Basil and cilantro with my tomatoes for 30 years. Works great!
M Callahan are marigolds good to have to repel bugs? I was reading that it could attract bugs like aphids etc which I don’t want more of. Teetering if I should plant some or not
M Callahan I have basil planted with my tomatoes. I’m still trying to find mozzarella cheese plant starts. 🤔
@@emtjenc They sell those at the free money store.
@@Fattiapples I have not had trouble with marigolds attracting aphids but some people do add plants like this for the sacrifice. Just like in nature with the birds the male is much more colorful, not only to attract the female but stand out more to the prey so the female can sit on her eggs.
FattiApples I have been doing it for 30 years and it works for me!
Gardening teaches kids about life soooo much and should be compulsory at school
Absolutely 💯%. It would actually be something useful, very unlike some other subjects forced on the kids.
Schools teach a lot of very useless subjects, in my opinion.
Hi. I teach ecosystem development and one key feature is companion planting especially in food gardens, but also in pollinator gardens. I look forward to going through your work. People don’t realize this method is simply preindustrial farming 🌻
We definitely need to get back to that.
Really neat that you can plant basically all the nice Italian tomato sauce herbs in with the tomatoes.
I was wondering if that’s why they did it. Most Italians don’t have huge lots.
I found that interesting too maybe there’s more to it.
I’ve been consuming your videos voraciously since I started my first garden/plants this March. I really appreciate that you don’t talk down to your audience and really get into the “why” of gardening. It’s very enabling!
I too have been inspired by his videos, but mostly I have been inspired by the Emperor!
@@Arkahm719 Indeed all inspiration that can be drawn from humanity is a gift given to us by our Father atop the Golden Throne. The Emperor protects.
@@GregHMacLean Great, a bunch of Forknife players. NERDS!
Also, rumor has it your Emperor is a DIRTY HERETIC.
Oh no! If that’s true we have to alert the proper authorities! Go tell the ordo hereticus exactly what you just told me!
Same!
I plant marigolds and snap dragons around my tomato plants and never have an issue with pests/have giant yields from pollination. They're so helpful! Plus, you'll never need to buy marigold seeds again because they're insanely prolific.
Its not only companion planting but you have the explanation for why you can grow them together which made a lot if not more sense to me now. I will be excited to use this concept around tomatoes particularly.
how did it work out?
Hello Luke. I live in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands and have a little balcony on the 9th floor of an apartment building that I use to grow flowering plants and vegetables. I really enjoy your videos and find the information very straight forward and clear to understand. Many thanks.
I also live in NL and love these practical tips and tricks!
In the early seventies I raised borage on a balcony in Boston.
Been Gardening for over 40 years and just learned 5 new epic ideas. Thanks Luke!
2019 I planted nasturtiums and cosmos in-between my tomato plant and dill in between my pepper plants. I didn't have a single bug on my peppers and no horn worms on my tomatoes.
Jill Brown ...Wow! I’m going to try that.
What's more, nasturtium leaves and blossoms are a marvelous salad addition. Yum!
Jill Brown. My nasturtiums grew too tall and wide too fit under our tomato plants. Did it create any moisture problems? Luke said air flow was important, just wondering how big your area was. If we make a raised 3x6 bed how closet to the tomato stems would the nasturtiums go?
@@wendyburston3132 I plant nasturtiums around the outside of the beds, Cosmos and dill in between the tomatoes. I plant tomatoes every two feet and keep my tomato plants bare from about 1-1/2’ from the ground.
Oo never thought of cosmos! They're one of my favorites. I bought some nasturtiums this year for the first time! Can't wait to try this
If you plant Cilantro and radishes around your brassicas you can eliminate aphids.
Don't pull out the radishes and Cilantro until after a heavy frost even though they'll look untidy. If you pull them out before a killing frost, the aphids will come back overnight. (This is what happened to me.)
I've interplanted radishes and Cilantro around my brassicas for several years and they've repelled 100% of the aphids.
Nasturtiums didn't work. In fact, I had beautiful nasturtiums without a single aphid right next to broccoli and cauliflower plants that had so many aphids the plants looked like a green shag rug which made them inedible. There were too many aphids to wash off.
A great concept. I would have immediately added purslane or portulaca on the very edge of the of the frame to hang down. It’s edible and goes well with things like scrambled eggs. It’s prolific and I once weeded 30 pounds of it from a 30 foot flower bed when the local health food store was selling it at $7/lb. This is the first video that I’ve ever seen where the comments were as useful as the presentation.
I like to pile the pulled purslane around the potatoes.
ua-cam.com/video/cYr2hB-KfQM/v-deo.html
Purslane is a great trap crop for horn worms
I work in a well known gardening center in MN and I recommend your channel to all of my new growers all of the time. Best gardening channel on YT!
What place? Just moved to MN so looking for good gardening places.
I Would like to know as well
must be bachmans
Joe Loveless what part of MN? I love a lot of local places. Tonkadale is my favorite in the Minnetonka area if you haven’t found one yet
Look up Edible Acres. He is significantly better for my style of gardening and my projects. For general information and tips MIgardener is amazing too but not things like huge chicken compost systems
Gotta give a shout out to the flower Alyssum! SO easy to grow from seed, I've done it both ways - make seedlings and direct sow. Last year I simply spread a bunch of seeds all around my tomato plant, and they bloomed all the way till my first frost. Its a sweet scented, cover spreading flower, that attracts lots of beneficial insects.
I planted Marigolds next to tomatoes last year. They were untouched by insects. I’m watching this video for the second time in 2024. Thanks for all you do for us. ❤😊
Excellent advice. I have also read that nasturtiums are excellent to plant among tomatoes. They offer insect protection, and you can eat all parts of the plants!
Basil and tomatoes love one another. I always get almost twice the amount of each.
TAC W
Plant a salad! Thx for info 🙏🌱
They love each other in the bowl with some balsamic vinegar too.
@@fkp1692 you must remove the leaves on your tomato plants. Leave only one branch of leaves below your first tomato. I also remove half the leaves on most branches. That is, I remove the tips of the branches. This way you get lots of tomatoes and they ripen because they get more sun. Im assuming you know to remove all the suckers-the leaves that appear in the v where the stem and branch meet. I plant basil all along the row in front of the tomatoes. I pinch it back, so it stays low and bushy and doesn’t interfere with tomatoes. Shades the soil at base of tomatoes so they don’t dry out so quickly. Hope this is helpful.
Basil in my 9b area prefers the shade of tomatoes, actually. Basil doesn’t really do well in 110 degree heat, so that afternoon shade break really helps.
@@lizedur4976 That was VERY well said! Excellent advice! GOD bless
Last year I had a 3' x 5' raised bed that I planted mini sweet corn, 10 early anne tomato plants, 2 Algonquin Pumpkin plants, 2 mandant banquet squash, 2 doe hill sweet pepper plants, zinnias and callundra. I was experimenting to see how far I could push production in a small plot. We only have 90 frost free days here. Nights are in the 50s and days are in the high 80s in July and August. We had a period of drought last summer as well. Everything grew all over everything else. The only thing that didn't make it was the mini sweet peppers. Some times you just have to throw the rules out the window to find what works for you!
Kathryn Gagne amazing!
@@californianorma876 Success is quite shocking sometimes , like when I grew Brussel sprouts the first time .
wow
Peppers need nights warmer than 50s to set fruit :(
That's great! The last few years I think I had bunched things up too much. This year, I have things to spaced out. It's great to know you can inter-crop like he explains to maximize yields.
0:00 Introduction and discussion of why you shouldn't leave the ground bare. 4:44 Discussion of things to interplant.
I know this video is 2 yrs. old, but thank you so much for the information! I have been inter-cropping basil for a few years, and it has worked out tremendously. But I haven't thought about many of the other plants that you have mentioned. Can't wait until next year.
gardening is really a timeless skill and art
This is such a great video. I work at a feed store and I’ll tell everyone about your channel. People NEED these videos now more than ever.
Thyme also has a LOT flavor! Not to mention can be dried easily or frozen in ice cube trays with butter or olive oil for winter 💕
Almost 50 years ago my daughter made a booklet for 4-H and entered it in the state fair. She got a blue ribbon. It covered companion planting. People should be listening to you..we. always had great crops..and these crops also won many blue ribbons.
I like Luke's intros. He establishes a personal, friendly vibe that gives the feel of chatting with a neighbor, rather than a textbook. Keep up the good work, Luke! 🌻
Oh - I interplant basil, marigolds, and radishes with my tomatoes. Going to try some bush beans and see what happens!
try snap peas instead.. the bush will take over the area and shade out the others... snap peas will add nitrogen and they grow great up the tomato plants
Its been a year what happened? ;)
@@augustpriest6945 I plant snap peas with my tomatoes and it works great. 😁 I have lots of peas and tomatoes. I’ve been doing this for years as my garden space is very limited.
@@sheilawilcox4133 good idea, I'll try that
@@sheilawilcox4133 would Kentucky Wonder climbing snap beans be ok to plant right @ tomatoes?
Love your series. I wanted to share a happy finding of ours...I've grown tomatoes all my life, but found out just last year a wonderful plant to use as a companion plant--purple (Thai) basil. This stuff is very weedy, mind you, but last year I never saw even ONE tomato hornworm, and almost no other pest, either.
Any type of basil is a great choice with tomatoes, both for growing and for eating.
I just planted some purple basil with my tomatoes... hoping this helps.
4:50 is when he starts talking about what plants you can plant with tomatoes. Great info to have.
One of my favorites is asparagus!! I had planted some asparagus in a (big) pot and gave up thinking it wouldn't sprout. I got impatient and so I planted a late tomato plant on top of it, and then I got my got my first little asparagus, it was a total surprise!!!
It generally takes asparagus two years to grow after being planted 💗
Thank you for continuously pumping out such great content! I've learned so many things that I would not have even considered otherwise. Keep it up!
THANK YOU!!! You just DOUBLED the size of my garden!!! Awesome
I have watched many of your videos and this one is by far one of my favorite. Thank you for making all the informational videos for us!!
Excited to plant my beets, turnips, & radishes with my tomato’s this year. All ordered from the awesome MIgardener store!!! Love the price of the seeds!
Just wanted to thank you for all the education you have provided. Thanks to your channel we had a successful planting season last year and are continuing again this year. 😊🌱
Nasturtium is another great flower that companion plant well with tomatoes. Calendula is another. Plus, they are edible.
Ans taste great if you like a bit of spice
Was coming here to say just this, nasturiums and candula and borage
Calendula and Marigolds the same thing?💐
Yes! Borage is another great one. It has a nice cucumber taste.
Calendula and marigold are in the same family. 🙂👍
Dry calendula flowers, soak in oil, and make salves for skin abrasions. Amazing stuff
Last year my tomatoes were surrounded by marigolds - i had no worms - amazing - the marigolds held up the vines and completely shaded the soil - the best year for me so far as an intermediate beginner lol! I had supports, but the vines got long and some just escaped and they produced tomatoes among the marigolds until late September.
I use the big garlic cloves for cooking and put the small garlic cloves in the soil around tomatoes. They grow well.
Choose crops that are NOT heavy feeders so that they don't compete w/🍅 for nutrients
5:36 ☀️ loving crops (beans)
6:00 Shade/cool loving plants (herbs: thyme, sage, oregano, basil, lettuce, radishes, carrots, root crops), flowers like lavender, marigold and other edible flowers.
Onion, garlic, etc
NOT heavy hydrogen feeders like spinach, broccoli, etc.
I plan to plant herbs in the shady areas around my home. I made a big mistake planting cilantro in the full hot sun and it disintegrated a week later! Lesson learned- shady areas for these herbs.
@@GuitarsAndSynths Of all the herbs, Cilantro is the most delicate. I would no only plant in mostly shade and that it doesn't get any direct sunlight after 10 am. And given the chance, I would actually start it from seed; transplanting also shocks it.
Central florida here, I have pineapple sage planted next to my tomatoes. The bees love it and I allow it to Bush out to bring in the lizards who eat the army worms and hornworms.
Why not just grow pineapples? Then have a nice pineapple lizard fricassee.
@@practicalgardensolutions4971 Welllll okay thennnn. 🤭
Pineapple Sage! I've never heard of that but it sounds amazing!
Sage Greens It smells so delicious!!! I bought two pineapple sage plants and I am propagating them for more plants because I love the smell!!!
TheSunRiseKid how do you use your pineapple sage? I have one that comes back every year, but I’ve never used it in any meals.
This was great! Thanks Luke! You are a fantastic teacher! God bless you! I’m starting a container garden this year for the first time. I’m excited!
I have 2 4x8 beds from last year and 4 3x6 beds that were just delivered. I'm here in Michigan too and loved gardening and sharing with the community so much that I more than doubled my available square footage. I'll be checking your videos constantly.
Thank you so much! I am so new to gardening and I love your videos. You are so informative and I love these extras that a lot of other gardeners don't share. Thanks again!
Wow. Great presentation. Pretty amazing how you ran through the information so orderly and without making any cuts in filming.
Oh God bless you! I am building my first raised bed this spring 2020. This is so helpful
Just found this video and now I'm rethinking my garden layout!!
I really hope this channel reaches one million subscribers, best gardening content on UA-cam hands down. Thank you
I absolutely love your videos! I love how passionate you are about the things you share. It's contagious! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & enthusiasm with us!
You just inspired me again!! For the umpteenth time😝 like you said once in your video… I feel like a dog with a 🐿. I am super excited to follow all of your advice. Appreciations to you and your family!
Weirdly, this same guy also did a video where he said, "I don't promote companion planting!" But he also went on in that video to retrace some of the same info here. By far, this is the better of the 2 videos. Guess everyone has an odd day once in a while. Still subscribed to this good guy's channel.
I think I could listen to this one and really think about my gardening habits even more!! Thank you, I am still thinking. Probably going to have to start designing a layout on paper!! You have such a wealth of knowledge to share. Thank you so much!!!
I planted carrots and onions under my tomatoes this year. Glad to see your tomatoe plants are about the same height as mine.
When radishes bolt they fill up with seed pods which are a very tasty treat. like a fresh peapod with slight spice 🤗
twolilfish turnips, kale, and all the brassicas make similarly tasty little spicy green bean pods, I love using em in stir frys!
@@HaveYouSeenMyGardens looking at wild edibles i noticed that the hairy bittercress also has these pods, but they are so tiny its hard to see them..but yes, very good to eat especially if you like a bit of spice[or bitter]!
I love radish pods. I grow the radish just for them, don't even care about the root.
Cool info! Thanks
I don't like the taste of radishes or the pods but I grow them for the pretty flowers!
Great info. I learned a lot in just a few minutes. Thank you. I’m new to gardening at the age of 67. So the learning curve is huge.
This is such a great video, I had to rewatch it this year too. What a big difference in the garden doing this and using mulch instead of weed barriers
Thanks!! This was helpful! I ordered almost all my seeds from you this year. I ordered mostly dwarf varieties because I live in an apartment and have to do container gardening. I do have one lonesome indeterminate variety of tomato and I’m going to head out there now and throw down a few more carrot seeds! Thanks again!!
Thanks for sharing. That helped a lot I'm growing tomatoes beans and hot peppers in a 4x12 bed and marigolds.
Thanks Luke! Got to planting today and had entirely too many soaked bean seeds and not enough room to plant them- so I wondered if I could surround my tomatoes with them- I knew you’d have the answer!
Don't have a food garden yet but have a learned many things just by watching 2 of his videos. Thanks!
Really liking these videos. Best veggie garden guy on UA-cam hands down 👍
Also by covering your soil you avoid rain hitting your bare soil and causing compaction. Thanks for all you do
Thanks Luke...companion planting is smart and sensible. Plus space savings.
Hurray you turn another hundred. Thank you so much for all you do for us. I have learned how to garden watching you.
I love this! I have tried doing this hit or miss though. I love finding my little jewels under the tomatoes
I'm so glad this came up in my cue today. I had watched it last June but in the deep south where I live, we plant tomatoes in April. It was a bit too late to do in my 2019 garden. Today, however, my 2020 garden is recently planted and I had lots of seedlings to interplant with my tomatoes. I planted Dragon Tongue and Fin de Bagnol
beans, marigold seeds, Nasturtium seedlings, and some Radishes (multi-sown like Charles Dowding teaches) since they come to maturity so quickly. Interplanting like this will be perfect here especially since we have to remove the lower leaves of our tomato plants to ward off fungal diseases and leaves extra space to grow things underneath them. Thanks for such an educational video, Luke!
Thank you. I absolutely love the marigold idea w tomatoes! Cant wait till spring! What a win win. Keep up the info. Appreciate it!
Great tips on the positive companion plants to bring in around Tomatoes. Thanks Luke.
I now know just what to put around my tomato plant to use up my valuable garden space! I am trying Calendula this year near my veggies to bring pollinators and defend against pests-they are supposed to be good flowers for such things. Thank you for your helpful videos! Gardening tips are needed more than ever with so many trying to grow their own food.
can't wait to ramp up my production this year! thanks for the tips
I absolutely LOVE this video! It was exactly what I was looking for! Your tips are always on point!
This was GREAT! You teach and speak the best way for my brain to take things in, and you linked pieces of things I've heard here and there into one complete, logical story line with explanations, and no pointless chatty stuff. All interesting, clear & useful to help us reason, plan & understand.
Love your channel! You're going to help me save more money & get healthier growing food than I ever thought I could.
Thanks!!! I thought I was good with interplanting (herbs & flowers), but you gave some great tops on the onions & root veggies. Looking forward to this year's planting season.
At home, potting up my tomato seedlings watching this. No doubt we’ll both benefit from your advice this year 🍅 interplanting lavender is a great idea too 👍
I am going to try this next year. With marigolds, herbs, bush beans and onions.
I did plant marigolds next to my tomatoes this year and they have kept down the tomato hornworm population, though I did find out that the shade from the marigolds provide a safe haven for black cutworms during the day. They've been a nemesis to my onion plants this year. I plan on using Bt to control them next year.
Thank you MIgardener for sharing your knowledge as well as your products. I bought some of your Trifecta+ recently and cannot wait to see what it does for my garden. Love your channel, keep up the great work!
Agree with recommendations. Live in SE Washington and grew a good winter cover crop (winter peas, vetch, broccoli, radish, triticale) in tomato space. Rather than turning under or removing as the cover crop went dormant in spring, I trimmed it and planted tomatoes in holes through it.
I put radishes around my tomatoes this year and they were wonderful! Big, plentiful, and tasty! Next year I’ll try onions and carrots too. Thanks for this video!
Hey. My seeds in my no till garden is doing awesome. Thanks for all of you great videos and website. i May the Good Lord have FAVOR on your life Amen! Rhonda
I planted beans next to my tomatoes last year, and they LOVED it. I got so many harvests from just 2 plants and they grew HUGE.
Getting close to 1M subscribers ! You have made great videos for years - thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I know you said u weren't a promoter of companion planting but I really enjoyed this video. So many great suggestions
We have planted marigolds chives and petunias as companions to our tomatoes and we have had massive success and very few invasive bugs
Thank you so much! I'm a first time gardener, so your videos have been very helpful! I feel that I can actually have some success!
Love this! I am now planting some carrots beneath my tomatoes. I’m in England and in a town where space is limited so I love the videos I am watching here! Thank you
We call it companion planting in Australia. Thanks, good vid.
This is an awesome video man! Thanks dude. I tried planting cool mint underneath my tomatoes. They both co-existed well. Still experimenting with the benefits. It did keep the soil moist and I want to say served as a protective buffer against snails and insects. It’s anecdotal but I think I’m try other plants.
Good job man. Keep spreading your knowledge
You did not lose me at all! With you all the way. One day I'll take time for a longer message to tell you about my grandmother's and where my plans and feelings are rooted from! Love you! Feel your passion and still, I'm cheering you on every day!!!! Much love!!!
Great information! Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to use what I just learned about intercropping this growing season.
Borage and Basil are my go to companion plants for tomatoes.
Wow I learned so much! My garden on my homestead will be better from watching this! Thanks for sharing Luke!
Thanks for this Cathedratic/Scholatic of water and rain comparison. You answered my long-time question about the increasing in grass-gross after the rain.
Thanks a whole lot
I plant this way as well, I learned it back in the 70s. It's called French Intensive Gardening. Thanks so much for the video!!
I LOVE this guy! He's sooo energetic and I learn sooo much from him.
I agree. He’s one of my go-to guys
Intercropping is an excellent way to expand your harvest. I have onions, parsley, beets, basil, marigolds, cilantro, and even kale planted around my tomato and pepper plants!
Onions and garlic stunt parsley
@@lizedur4976 I don't plant onions and garlic around parsley or parsley around onions and garlic.
Hi MI Gardener. This was an awesome video. I learned so much from you in less than 12 minutes that will last me a lifetime. Great job!
Thank you, extremely informative and exactly what I was needing to watch this morning.
