Hello everyone! I hope all is well. I have a question on companion planting. How much is too much? This year I planted nasturtiums in the same bed I had also planted lettuce and beets throughout the bed. Then against a vertical trellis I made a had beans and peas growing. Once the peas were done I planted Mexican sour gherkins. My lettuce suffered in the summer greatly and I think it was the heavy rain we got this year and the nasturtiums vines just were very damp and almost soggy looking. The flowers did beautifully and spread out so much. They were not hurt at all. The lettuce I had started however did. Last year my lettuce did soooo good with the strawberries, but due to crop rotation they were placed somewhere else.
But like I asked earlier…how much is too much? Did I overdo this bed? We’re the plant choices wrong for this setup? 8 know the rain was a big culprit here, but I kinda felt the nasturtiums were too much for the lettuce. Any thoughts? Thank you!
