Especially beans. Trust me. Onions/garlic/shallots can go near roses though. Don’t put garlic near anything, either. Especially beans. Trust me.

We just found out we are moving to a home with more space, so I hope to plant a bigger garden than I was planning...I guess it's back to the drawing board! Can't wait to see how your garden does this year!! IT's going to be great! I'm really looking forward to what you learn about feeding the soil. I was talking with a friend who does organic gardening and she doesn't use manure to feed it! I was shocked, but she explained that unless she raised the cow, she doesn't know what's in that poo! I never would have thought of that! She recommened a fertilizer that is organic and from beets or something like that...it is by a popular company...I'll have to ask her again what the name was!
