Companion Planting is Not an Exact Science
Here are a couple of other resources for suggestions that might work for you.  If you see that surrounding plants don't seem to be getting along, try and figure out why it is happening.  Maybe one plant has to go.  Keep scrolling for a list of plants bee, birds, and butterflies love.

Picture

This companion planting chart has lots of herbs you may want to grow.  Most herbs are also full of antioxidants and other immune boosting properties so include as many fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs in your daily diet and when you cook to pump up your nutritional intake.

Best Crops For a Pesticide Free Garden

www.youtube.com/watch?v=POhtOUp15asThe crops listed above are also crops that contain the MOST PESTICIDE RESIDUE.  Who wants that?  No one should because even tiny amounts of pesticides still have one job and one job only.....KILL YOUR CELLS!  Don't forget that because companies want you to think that small amounts don't hurt you and that is not true.  According to Dr. Michael Hansen, Sr. Scientist Consumers Union, "Small continual doses of pesticides is much more toxic than any large dose."  Pesticides can not only accumulate in our bodies, but may become part of our proteins so we become the pesticide in a way.  Dr. Stephanie Seneff explains. 

Some pesticides like Atrazine are causing unnatural amounts of estrogen to be secreted and therefore cause breast cancer in women and in boys can cause autism and even changes that can impact sexual orientation or the actual sexual organs themselves.  Experiments were on frogs, but replicated what can happen to human babies.  Findings were so horrific that company tried to get Dr. Tyrone Hayes to sign a contract to give them the research and he never tell anyone.  He is a man of ethics and wanted to do what was right so refused and instead tried to tell the public the truth.  Atrazine is banned in 150 countries including all of Europe.  

Syngenta, the maker of Atrazine, is so in tune with just what it's pesticides does to women that it created a breast cancer drug to reverse what it's pesticide product is doing to women.  Doesn't always work and women die of course.  Autism is proportionately much higher in males and is a big contributor to the disease.  Boys may not even get a voice change at puberty because the poison changes the larynx. 

ONLY BUY CERTIFIED ORGANIC SEEDS
​HIGH MOWING SEEDS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A COMPANY TO SUPPORT
