Carol Bakker's Reviews > Carrots Love Tomatoes: Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening

A wonderful resource for gardeners.

For example: beets grow fine next to bush beans, but not near pole beans. Who knew?

I read about intercropping too late for my vegetable garden but I'm going to give it a try with my flower beds in front. The deer think I grow zinnias for their dining pleasure. And won't stop munching even when I'm standing close shushing them away.

After I noticed that the only tulips that survive the deer are planted inside a ring of daffodils, I decided to try intercropping with zinnias and snapdragons. The deer wouldn't touch the snapdragons.

I won't even pretend that I'd remember to come back to this review and let the readers know the outcome of my experiment. But I'm buoyed with hope.
