Vegetable Companion Planting

Vegetable Companion Planting

Combining crops saves precious space and maximizes the harvest from every single pot.

Check out these combinations:
Tomatoes + Basil: A legendary duo! They thrive in the same growing conditions and are just as perfect together in the dirt as they are on your plate.

Peppers + Marigolds: Not only does this combo add a gorgeous pop of color to your patio, but marigolds also naturally help protect your peppers from pests!

Lettuce + Radishes: The ultimate pair for a quick, crunchy, and satisfying harvest.

Pro Tip: The golden rule of container gardening is to always group plants that crave the exact same amount of sunshine and water. It makes caring for your patio garden an absolute breeze!

New study confirms the Medieval Warm Period warmer than today

Researchers found leafy moss buried 36 feet deep in Antarctica’s Boulder Clay Glacier, dated to around 1,000 years ago, right in the middle of the Medieval Warm Period.

During this time, parts of Antarctica were warm enough for meltwater to carve a 4 km long channel through what is now a permanently frozen glacier.

Ice that never melts today once hosted moss and flowing streams.

The medieval warm period wasn’t a myth, as some climate activists have tried to claim.

The physical proof is there.

Moss, melt channels and layered sediments all tell the same story, as do proxy records from around the world.

The planet was warmer just 1,000 years ago.
