Lake County Master Gardener Phyllis C. Harbor explains why some plants thrive when grown together. Then she recommends friends (and foes) that can improve (or undermine) your vegetable garden. What will encourage and protect your tomatoes, green beans, carrot, and peppers?

Hint: Get some nasturtium and marigolds.

You can visit our YouTube channel for more gardening and horticulture programs.

The Meet Us in the Garden series continues on Saturday, June 3, with a talk about honeybees.

Two more tips for any gardeners out there:
