There's nothing wrong with buying herb starts from the nursery! Sometimes it's easier for established plants to deal with less-than-desirable growing conditions.

I just got some catnip seeds to grow for my furry kids, so I love the double duty they will do! I sowed dill a couple months ago and it is barely clinging to life. The last batch of dill I had was completely devoured by aphids. I'm tempted to just get a couple dill plants from a nursery to get things started. :-/ This is perfect!!

For some silly reason, I never grow dill.... maybe because I have bronze fennel volunteers everywhere, and fennel and dill don't play well together. But if there are more lady bugs, then I will go for it. And I adore catnip, and lemon balm. As for the spiders, well as long as they aren't too big...

It goes part and parcel with all the interest in organic gardening. Michelle–I’ve seen a huge influx in interest in companion planting.

The art of companion planting seems to have disappeared in recent years as people try to use artificial products to try and make the most of their planting, but personally I think it's best to do it naturally, and it seems from your tips that you do too.
