This is a must in your garden, there are also some things that you do not plant close together also. Beans and corn are fine to be close together, but tomatoes and corn being close is not a good thing. That is what my grandpa always told me.

And let's not get started on companion gardening- OY!
So much to go into it. When I was a little girl and my grandma would plant her garden, I never understood all her thinking. I was thinking.. just bury the seed and it'll grow.. then when I grew up and started my own, I understood all the planning
There is SO much to companion planting, I find it completely overwhelming! Haha I try to just stick to the basics and keep it simple so I don’t feel defeated with all of the information. Haha
Oh I know! Basic is the way to go!
I never knew gardening could be so stressful! It's supposed to be relaxing.. right?!
Sometimes I find when I learn too much about a subject, it becomes much more difficult to conquer than when I knew less. Hahah. That is definitely true for me and gardening, and pretty much everything I take on here with homesteading. Lol.
It’s like with fishing, it’s only relaxing if you set the fishing rod in a rod holder, sit down, have a coffee and a chat and watch the sunset and then pack up. But if you really want to catch a fish every single time, you need to be more active and pro-active with planning etc...
It can be overwhelming at times. I would talk to my grandpa and watch him and be so confused myself. I had a wonderful garden year after year, I wish he was still around so I could learn so much more from him. I miss sitting on the front porch at night and talking about gardens.
Yes I miss spending time with my grandma too. Some days I wish she were still here to tell her stories and help me in the garden. I could really use her wisdom.
