  1. How Can You Grow Flowers And Vegetables At Home?

  2. A garden planted with each type of flower or vegetable separated might look well organized, but separating plants leads to a dependence on herbicides and insecticides. Instead, you can plant flowers and vegetables together, using the flowers to attract beneficial insects and birds that help keep vegetable pests under control. This doesn't just mean planting a few flowers among your vegetable garden. Many vegetable plants have attractive flowers and foliage, as well as colorful vegetables that add interest when planted among your flowerbeds. If you fill in the empty spaces between plants, you reduce space for weeds to grow.

  3. Match flowers and vegetables according to their sunlight and water needs when choosing companion plants. Vegetables require full sun to grow, but this doesn't necessarily mean you can only plant flowers that need full sun. Tall plants, such as tomatoes, can provide shade for flowers that grow in partial sun or partial shade. • Plant corn in clusters of at least four short rows rather than a single long, straight row. Plant morning glories (Ipomoea spp.), nasturtiums (Tropaeolummajus) or other flowering vines between the corn stalks and train the vines to grow up the stalks.

  4. Plant a path of cabbage and lettuce, choosing a mixture of green-leaf varieties and plants with red, pink or variegated leaves. Plant the cabbage or lettuce plants about six inches apart. Fill in the spaces between the vegetable plants with annual flowers that match the colors in the vegetable leaves. Petunias (Petunia x hybrida) and pinks (Dianthus plumarius) come in shades of pink and purple that bring out the color of the vegetable leaves. You might also plant some white flowers that accent the white colors of some vegetable leaves and act as a backdrop to highlight the green, purple and pink vegetable leaves.

  5. Tip • Just as you must frequently harvest vegetables, such as squash and indeterminate tomatoes, to keep them producing fruits, you must cut flowers or deadhead expired blossoms often to prolong the flowering period. Without cutting or deadheading, flower production halts and the plant develops seeds.
