Thanks for another helpful article, doccat5! I am just now starting some companion planting. I have radishes popping up around my newly planted cucumbers (after your advice on an earlier thread), and am planting some flowering bee-magnets in my veggie beds, to bring in the bees for pollination. I haven't had much trouble with no bees in the past, but this is the first time I'll be relying on them for veggie pollination, and I want to encourage them as much as possible.

Thanks for pointing out ways I can expand what I'm doing!
