Today is September 28th and that means it is National Good Neighbor Day!

While there are certianly ways to be a good garden neighbor this post is going to focus on plants that grow best together. This concept is called "companion planting".

Companion planting can help reduce pest pressure, provide physical support, provide shade, or work on a deeper "cellular/chemical" level. Have you had success with growing different species together?
