Marigolds with tomatoes, I know. Any other suggestions? Honestly, pest control is going to be one of my biggest challenges. Between the bugs and the rabbits and the voles, I don't know what I'm going to do. Thank goodness I haven't seen any deer around here. @Lee: I have not planned for any defense plants, but I may add them after the fact. Marigolds with tomatoes, I know. Any other suggestions?

It's all outdoors. How I'll protect it from critters, I have no idea... Maybe build a greenhouse ;-) @Kleer: Sorry, no green house. It’s all outdoors.

I saw a little bit of what I assume to be a green house in the "Gardening Options" post from a few months ago. Dumb question: This is in the covered green house, yes?

I planted my yellow squash next to my onions once, ended up with slightly onion flavored squash. I still cant determine why. Are you planting any defense plants? Marigolds or other flowers bugs love? I found that separating my plants into several area also worked to keep infestations from killing everything, but I am a firm believer in giving them something else to chew on so they stay away from the veggies. Oh, and dont forget to spread you diatomaceous earth around and in the beds, especially with the squash and melons and other stuff with yummy to bugs leaves.
