Flowers in your Vegetable Garden


Flowers in your vegetable garden:
French and African Marigold Flowers add color and make GREAT vegetable garden friends. Planting Marigolds as a border or among your vegetables are a good organic pest control that repel insects. Marigolds do an excellent job of keeping bean beetles, whiteflies, and cucumber beetles out of your garden.
  • The French Dwarf Marigold are very effective for bush beans and beetles will stay clear of my bean rows.

  • African Marigolds are great to plant among larger vegetables like cucumbers, corn or pole beans
