I kept adding things to the wee garden, and it's probably too much, I tucked in onions 4 of them in the corners, will plant more in the fall. A Rosemary, chamomile, and 3 tomatoe plants...and scattered some seeds about for Calendula. Everything is small now.
It may be a tad bit crowded....although when I pull the 4 garlic plants up that will help some.
I mentioned that Roses love garlic, I have a book by that title.
Here is the information on it, it's about companion planting. I should dust it off and read it.😉
I purchased it because I love roses & garlic, the title intrigued me.
Peace

I love the idea of companion gardening I have read about some interesting combinations. We have already tried marigolds with some of our veg it does seem to work.
I've not seen that book so thank you:-) I have lemon grass growing and my mom almost pulled it thinking it was "just grass". I want tea~
I've either read Louise Riotte's book or maybe it was an article in a magazine. I must admit I don't pay much attention to companion planting. My style is more planting things very random.
I grew Lemon Verbena one year but although we're zone 7 it didn't make it through winter. It may have been because of our very wet winters.
Lemon Balm grows everywhere in my back yard. I tried making tea with it once but was not impressed. What do you use yours for?
I think that book was one of the forerunners of companion planting! I find it works very well and looks prettier too.
Leigh I think you are correct. I've seen pictures of the earlier copies. This is a lovely copy. The title caught my eye for I love roses & garlic, and to my surprise they love each other.
I bought the book because I was curious about roses & garlic since I love them both. I don't take the companion gardening to the extreme, as I have a small space. I planted the lemon balm because it was one of the ingredients to make Queen of Hungary. It's a pretty plant, but not alot of lemon in it for me. Has many healing properties, but I prefer Lemon Verbena for the lemony fragrance.
Your little square garden will be so pretty and full. I planted a lemon balm plant once and now it grows everywhere. This has a very lemony scent...very strong!
Perhaps garlic in my little garden might be another deterrent for the hungry bunnies and mice... Plus good to eat when I make spaghetti or lasagna!!! Your little garden is wonderful!
I put them in October, we'll be harvesting soon, they are getting scapes..I hope you get to see the pink lavender...I hope it grows, me and seeds are a 50/50 deal.
