[@dagmarratatosk5997]

Calendula and marygold have another quality too: their roots kill nematodes in the soil. I plant them with my tomatoes. In german traditional gardens there is always calendula together with cabbage. Our ancestors knew about it. Nasturtium leaves are also a mild antibiotic. Dry the leaves and grind them. Combined with horseradish (anti-viral) it will help when you got a cold.

I plant/grow lots of 'sacrificials' now but when I replant, sow or share them out, I honor these hard working species by referring to them as 'support plants', 😆. 2nd year on hard neck garlic that sprouted in Feb 2020 so that many bulbils to plant/share freely!

[@jessicaSmash]

I love the practical experienced-based knowledge. I used mint as a ground cover on a steep slope ornamental bed. Indeed it is a mint garden… but now I can mulch with it!! Thank you!

[@joeseatat]

Excellent, excellent. When you said Mint, I started to get worried, but then you clarified not to put it in the garden. My mom has a persistent mint and chive infestation that has even spread to the yard. There are patches that smell quite...fragrant when mowed, lol. Just this past year we tried a bit of nasturtium, but probably not enough. Great to see how close you can jam things and still get a great harvest. We'll pack things in a little closer next year and definitely give the spring onion and garlic a try.

[@cinnamonone4759]

Great video as usual! I just got marigold seeds yesterday. I'm stepping up the flowers. Last year I planted flowers for the first time, zinnias. Wow! What a riot of colors and tons of pollinators. Today I up potted my tomatoes, peppers (the ones that survived the cold) and some tomatillos. It feels great to get outside and make some progress.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

Zinnias are one of my favorites!!... I like to plant a sea of the all purple ones and they are rock solid hardy plants

Our garden master host is really great at sharing substantive information from his own experiences, and I believe we're in nearly the same zone, so this knowledge is extra helpful. I wish we could spend a week in his garden learning from him. I'd be happy to pull my weight in return-- weeding, hauling, planting, harvesting, whatever I could do to help.

Can confirm on the mint. I almost had a mint YARD. I planted a “bed” of mint at the corner of the house. Thought it had plenty of room to grow. Wothin 2 years I had a 4’x4’ 11:47 bed of 3’ tall apple mint and it was stretching out into the yard 😂. It took 3 years of ripping it out by the roots to get it back under control
