Plants have best friends just like people do:

• Marigolds help tomatoes and roses grow better.
• Nasturtiums keep bugs away from squash and broccoli. 
• Petunias protect beans from beetles.
• oregano chases them away from cucumbers. 
• Geraniums keep Japanese beetles away from roses and corn.
• Chives make carrots sweeter.
• basil makes tomatoes even tastier.
