  1. I always enjoy your videos, and I was curious that I did not hear you mention marigolds.  I've had fun (& success!) growing several varieties of marigolds in my veggie garden.  I always plant nasturtiums, also.  Now I must try some of the others you mentioned.  Where's the link to that website about plants which attract beneficial insects?  Can't find it.

  2. Runner Beans does the trick for me, pollinators can't resist the ruby red flowers. and best of all, it doesn't stop flowering if you keep cropping the beans.

  3. Hello, I'm from the Philippines and I'm having an urban garden. Anyway Nice Video!! I already tried this and it makes my garden thrive on their natural ecosystem, thank you for having this nice video. Hope you have a many videos about this article THANKS AGAIN!!

  4. This is a great reminder video! Many vegetable gardeners forget to plant the "attractors" (flowers) in their gardens. Having the right kind of flowers in and around your garden can substantially increase your success and productivity. Thanks for showing your beautiful flowers.
