8- basil under the tomatoes, old companions, it troubles the hornworm and they say it sweetens the fruit
9- carrots between the tomato stakes, they loosen the deep soil and ask for little light
10- borage near the tomatoes and the squash, the bees come for the flowers and stay for the fruit
11- corn, beans, and squash together, the three sisters, each one giving what the others need
12- nasturtium at the foot of the cucumbers, the aphids prefer it and leave the rest alone
13- marigold around the peppers, the nematodes turn back at the smell of the root
14- summer savory beside the bush beans, it troubles the bean beetle and asks for no room
15- chives or garlic in thin rows between the carrots and the lettuces, a quiet ward against aphids
16- parsley near the asparagus and the tomatoes, it brings the wasps that hunt the worms

20- tomatoes and brassicas both eat heavy, planted close they starve each other
21- corn and tomatoes draw the same worm, keep them apart or share the loss
22- beans and onions, never together, the alliums turn the bean leaves pale and yellow
23- fennel near anything you mean to harvest, it sours the soil for company
24- cucumbers in the smell of sage, the cucumber will not thrive where the herb is strong
25- potatoes near the tomatoes invites blight to both
26- dill close to the tomatoes once they are setting fruit, the dill goes to seed and pulls them with it
