Grow Zucchini Near This Beautiful Flower to Prevent Aphids
There is nothing quite like picking a fresh zucchini from the garden to make a nice summer meal. Zucchini is an underestimated and easy-to-grow veggie that doesn't require a whole lot of care.
As a result, it is a very good starter crop for beginner gardeners. However, like many garden vegetables, it is also prone to pests, including the dreaded aphid.
Fortunately, marigolds can be planted near your zucchini as a companion plant that can help deter this annoying insect and serve as natural pest control in your garden.
Like zucchini, marigolds are not a high-maintenance plant and are easy to incorporate into your garden.
First off, they come in various sizes to provide a couple of options.
You can add dwarf varieties to pots next to your zucchini plants or plant taller varieties of marigolds directly into your garden soil to create a border around and in between them.
