Here is a list of more suggested companion plants and my own comments about placement or not in my balcony garden this year. If you try these, please report back with a comment with what your experience has been or how the plants are progressing. Thanks!
Petunia/Beans
Waiting for the next batch of seedlings to get a little stronger and then will plant these together.
Sunflowers/Cucumbers
I planted some sunflower seeds inbetween my cukes but no popping yet. Maybe the birds got the sunflower seeds? After I started to write this a little break from work brought me out to the garden in a matter of hours – there was nothing this morning in their spots – some sprouts have appeared – yipee! Amazing after several days of rain and a couple of warmer days how things progress.
Cucumbers/Lettuce
Have not tried this yet but it certainly makes sense since they taste soooo good together!
Cilantro (a/k/a coriander)/ALL VEGGIES
Even my dogs want to eat coriander and they are picky eaters!
Sage/Cabbage
It works! Actually read about this after having planted seeds next to each other and they are doing great.
Cabbage/Dill
Decided against growing dill since while I like to use it, it is easy to get at the piata and due to space limits have other more important herbs to grow.
Squash/Nasturtium
In one of the garden containers are cukes and nasturtium and they seem to be doing well together. Planted a few more nasturtium seeds and will try an experiment in a pot with a ”blue” pumpkin plant (an heirloom variety – how lucky I am to have recd some seeds!) which I expect will spill over and crawl along a large space along with a nasturtium plant. They are not ready to meet yet as they are in their coconut fiber seed bin right now.
Nasturtium/Radish
Holding off on the radish until august when a dark variety is scheduled for planting.
Tomatoes/Parsley
The tomatoes are in their own little cubicle section of the big box on the right -they are going absolutely crazy in the last couple of days without any companions!
