8- borage still going strong by the tomatoes, the bees will not leave them alone now
9- nasturtium among the squash vines, a sacrifice the squash bug accepts in their place
10- basil thick around the peppers, the heat brings out the oils that keep the beetles off
11- marigold everywhere, the deeper the summer the more they earn their square of soil
12- dill allowed to flower near the cucumbers, it brings the wasps that take the cabbage worm
13- chives and parsley left to bloom, every flower is a contract with a pollinator
14- a row of buckwheat in any bed already finished, it feeds the bees and softens tired soil

18- if anything new goes in, do not set it where the kin grew last year, the soil holds the memory
19- keep the squash out of the potato bed, the vines tangle and the soil is tired from both
20- sunflowers pull water and shade hard, do not crowd the beans against the stems
21- a second tomato never thrives where the first one stands, they will only fight for what is left
22- mint loose in any bed, root it in a pot or it will own the ground by autumn
