    Plant zucchini, Patty pan squash with Oregano, thyme, basil….squash bugs hate the smell of fragrant herbs. Be sure to get the herbs growing good first, then put the squashes in the bed or container(or plant seeds).

    • @VictimOfFat3
      @VictimOfFat3 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @ladyjess3957 anything in the allium family including leeks will deter pests because of the aroma. They should be fine to plant around squash or okra... but from what I'm reading it's not good to plant okra and squash together because the squash roots attract nematodes which okra is very susceptible to.
      You can also plant dill to attract butterflies, or marjoram to deter aphids from your squash.
      Peppers and basil are good for okra pest repellent.

    I have some very happy cherry tomatoes that have overwintered here in SoCal. They have taken advantage of some bushes and the vines in my wall. No other support. They are acting like a vine should. One is intertwined with a bougainvillea. There are no bad sections or parasites that I can see. Bit messy looking, but they are productive.

    IF you're doing the 3 Sisters mounding method here's some tips for you based on experience in my own garden;
    Prepare your mound or elevated row.
    Place a sturdy stake (I prefer bamboo) in the centre of the mound/seed-site.
    Place 4 kernels around the stake, about 1"/3cm from the stake.
    When germinated corn shoots are 5"-10" height place 4-8 pole beans around outside of corn shoot cluster.
    Place 2 pumpkin/squash/melon seeds on opposing sides of shoot cluster.
    IF possible, string twine between the tips of the mound stakes. Anchor twine to a fixed fence or pole if possible.
    As pole bean plants grow, train them to go around the central corn cluster - bamboo stake in the middle - as this will trellis the bean plants and help support the corn plants to prevent toppling from the weight of the bean plants in the future.
    The twine between the bamboo stake tips will give another trellis for the beans to grow along and help distribute the weight of the bean plants.
    Some pumpkin/squash/melon vines will partially climb to move/grow between the corn stalk clusters.
    I actually have twine strung up in a weave like pattern between the stakes, stalks, and fencing to provide a scaffolding for a pole bean canopy because I like the pole beans to have aerial opportunity and options.
    So far, the corn, beans, and melon/pumpkin vines are getting along with the brassica plants.
    I leave my brassica in place so I can harvest the plant leaves as well as any heads that might form.
    IF you're companion planting with marigolds, the marigold seeds should be placed as close to the base of the tomato/potato plants as possible.
    Okay, I'm done 👍

      Congratulations on your new land. How exciting! The Three Sisters traditionally has Corn - the staple of Native Americans - which provides the stalk support and 'arms' for the Squash and Beans vines and leaves that shade/cool, plus the Corn harvests last. You can find bundles of long 1.5" wooden sticks plus other supports, even Tomato cages could work with coaxing at a Home Depot or even Walmart garden sections. Plan on moving the tendrils to your supports. BTW. If open to full sunshine, you could grow small blocks of Corn your 1/4 acre. Have fun!

    All alliums are bug repellers so can we plant green onions and leeks and shallot

    • @SimplisticFarms
      @SimplisticFarms  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For most things, yes. I like to use my bunching onions for that purpose with my carrots, tomatoes, & peppers. You really just want to avoid planting them with Beans and Peas(Legumes), the Alliums roots give off a chemical that will stunt the growth of the Legumes. Great question!👍

    I have a small space where I just happen to be incidentally planting many of these things, are you learn a lot just from watching things play out.
    Peppers attract parasitic wasps, which protect all of your large, vertical fruit bearing vines from leaf eating pests. The parasitic wasps seem to love the tiny white flowers of peppers, and they reproduce by injecting their eggs into the caterpillars that feed on things like peppers and tomatoes. ...The wasps effectively eat their way out of the caterpillar, killing it in the process.

      Actually they give off a sent that typically detours cats. However, if they do eat it, it's very mild and not life treating at all. We have cats here and haven't had any issues in the past.

      I can assure you it wasn't the Basil. The hornworms are attracted to the Tomatoes. I know this because the worst infestation we ever had with hornworms was before we started Companion Planting and had no basil on the farm. Only tomatoes in the tunnel..it was a nightmare..
