I like to keep things in separate pots still, and just place small plastic pots within big ones. The roots land up intermingling anyway, but I can move them easily from one pot to the other if they aren't growing well. I am perplexed with my tomatoes, as the bees come around but don't seem to want to light on any flowers, I am starting to think it might be because I placed wormwood there to deter the hopping flea beetle (forgot their name)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-7114922683695544232011-05-24T22:59:52.887-04:002011-05-24T22:59:52.887-04:00@igardendaily.com I have not experienced it, but w...@<a href="#c5572537797896822550" rel="nofollow">igardendaily.com</a> I have not experienced it, but what I have read is the strawberries will impede the growth of all the brassicas...broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc. Can you move the strawberries?The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-55725377978968225502011-05-24T22:42:43.817-04:002011-05-24T22:42:43.817-04:00I always like to read information on companion pla...I always like to read information on companion planting!

I particularly like the strawberry jars with the openings that form 'cups' instead of just a side opening, but sometimes they are hard to find.

I do have one great book on the subject called 'Carrots Love Tomatoes' thatwas originally published back in 1975 that I refer to at times.
