Companion Plants

Potatoes and Dill

17 years ago

The Colorado Potato Beetle was terrible this year and really defoliated my potato plants. The only ones that weren't touched were the ones that grew among the Dill I had planted. I don't know if this is an 'accepted' companion planting, but I will always plant dill among my potatoes from now on!
