Companion Plants

We have started our seeds under our growing lights and they are growing strong. Soon it will be time to plant them outside, so once again we return to the ever-faithful library for a book on companion planting.

We are in luck! We come across Rodale's Successful Organic Gardening Companion Planting ISBN# 0875966152

Of course :( we are not planting everything listed in this book, so we are only listing what we have planned out for our garden. If you have a plant that is not on the list, let us know and I will find out the companion plant for you.
