About this time every year, I start seeing those newbies to the garden world coming into the
shop. They slink in and sheepishly giggle when you ask them if they need any help. These are garden newbies. Thanks to the blooming popularity of
pinterest I am seeing more and more of these sprouts heading into the shop. Most of them have decided to start a vegetable garden but they are quite unsure of how to go about it. Its no wonder when we throw out words like companion planting, soil amendments and fertilizer that you can see that look of overload fear in their eyes. I always recommend they start simple. Have fun, and lean as they go. Here is a great article on companion planting from
Organic Gardening

Make efficient use of your space and attract beneficial insects.
Organic gardeners know that a diverse mix of plants makes for a healthy and beautiful garden. Many also believe that certain plant combinations have extraordinary (some even believe mysterious) powers for helping each other grow.
