Last weekend I went to a marvelous flower show and gained the enclosed information about herbs. You can guess what MY lottie is goinfg to look like! :D
Chives next to roses prevent blackspot
Chives next to apple trees prevent scab
Borage attracts blackfly, leaving other plants alone!
Near tomatoes it can control tomato worm
And it attracts bees – helping to pollinate runner beans and strawberries!
Chamomile next to onions repels flying insects,
Improves crop yield
Fennel attracts hoverflies and keeps whitefly at bay
Hyssop grown near cabbages lures whiteflies away
Spearmint or Peppermint grown hear roses will deter aphids
Catmint near vegetables deters flea beetle
Rosemary near carrots will repel carrot fly
And is generally beneficial to Sage
Sage near cabbages will repel cabbage white butterflies
Nasturtium attracts blackfly away from vegetables
Attracts hoverflies which attack aphids
And repels whitefly, wholly aphids and ants!
Valerian near vegetables boosts their growth
Stimulates phosphorous and earthworm activity.
