Why You Should Plant This Gorgeous Flower Next
To Your Cucumbers
By MIMI MFUNDISI
Planting marigolds next to your cucumbers is a highly effective gardening strategy that can significantly enhance the growth and health of your cucumber plants.
Thanks to their strong odor, these gorgeous flowers are excellent at repelling pests such as cucumber beetles and thrips, which make them an ideal companion
for cucumbers.
Moreover, marigolds attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies with their high pollen content and draw in predatory insects that feed on pests harmful to
your crops.
These colorful flowers are also resilient and tolerant to heat and drought, allowing you to focus your attention on cucumbers without needing to fuss over the marigolds.
