Mixing herbs and flowers
This is a new technique I started last year - mixing herbs with flowers. Apparently there's a real science to "companion planting," which combines plants that can provide shade for each other and ward off bugs. I don't really know what I'm doing - I just think the combination looks pretty! This is basil, thyme, marigolds, and vincas.

The American Indians used to plant certain things together in a symbiotic way -"the 3 sisters": corn, beans and squash. The corn provided height for the beans to climb and the squash shaded the ground to retain water. You are on to something great! Peggy
