๐Ÿง  Ready for a quick food trivia challenge? See how many of these facts you already knew before reading. Warning: at least one of them will probably surprise you! ๐Ÿ˜„

Tomatoes seem happier with good neighbors ๐Ÿ… A few plants I like growing around them:

๐ŸŒฟ Basil is my favorite classic tomato companion.
๐Ÿง„ Garlic and chives fit nicely around the edges.
๐Ÿงก Marigolds and calendula bring in color and pollinators.
๐ŸŒธ Sweet alyssum helps attract beneficial insects.
๐ŸŒฟ Oregano and thyme stay lower and fill bare spots.
๐ŸŒผ Nasturtiums can help draw pests away from the main plants.

I just make sure not to crowd the tomato stems too much, because airflow really matters.

One healthy clump can turn into several new plants with the right timing ๐ŸŒธ

Cut-and-come-again vegetables are perfect when you want more food from the same plant ๐ŸŒฟ

If your pansies start looking tired, donโ€™t toss them yet ๐ŸŒฟ A little cleanup can help them bounce back.

If your tomato leaves are turning yellow, start by checking watering, airflow, and lower leaves ๐ŸŒฟ

Some plants do more than just look pretty ๐ŸŒฟ A few I like mixing into the garden for extra pest support:

๐Ÿงก Marigolds are great around veggie beds.
๐ŸŒฟ Basil is one I always plant near tomatoes.
๐Ÿ’œ Lavender works well in sunny, dry areas.
๐ŸŒฑ Chives are easy to tuck between plants.
๐Ÿง„ Garlic is helpful around plants that attract aphids.
๐ŸŒฟ Rosemary is perfect for warm, sunny corners.

Iโ€™ve noticed they work best when theyโ€™re spread around, not planted all in one little patch.

If your soil is dry, hot, or difficult, choose flowers that are built for it ๐ŸŒฟ These 14 are worth trying.

Black spot can sneak up fast on roses ๐ŸŒน A few habits have helped me keep it from spreading:

โœ‚๏ธ I remove the worst infected leaves first.
๐Ÿ‚ I clean up fallen leaves around the base.
๐Ÿ’ง I water at the soil, not over the foliage.
๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ I try to give roses good airflow.
โ˜๏ธ If I spray, I do it on an overcast day so the leaves donโ€™t burn.

For me, checking after rainy weather makes the biggest difference because thatโ€™s when it usually starts showing up.
