where is the best place to plant nasturtium.

 Marigolds and nasturtium repel numerous squash pest insects. 

Strawberry – These little plants respond strongly to nearby plants. 

Couple them with beans, borage, garlic, lettuce, onions, peas, spinach, and thyme. 

They also attract good bugs such as pollinators and hoverflies, a predator of common pests like aphids.

Avoid Brassicas, fennel, and kohlrabi.
