Companion Planting

If you haven't planted your garden yet and you don't know about companion planting (or don't know why you should), read this first. 

The gals at Little House in the Suburbs compare it to seating your families at a wedding:

1. Too many members of the same family shouldn't be seated together.
2. Hatfields and McCoys must be kept across the room from each other.
3. Sometimes somebody dated someone else's sister and it ended badly, so those individuals need to be kept apart.

The full article also includes a link to a video and a list of the common plant families. Bottom line: companion planting doesn't have to be complicated and it will increase your chances of a full harvest, saving you money in the long run.
