Last year taught me how important flowers are for the garden. Every year before moving I would use the companion planting method and mix in herbs/flowers in every row in the garden. Since moving I never got around to planting any and had huge issues with caterpillars. Before I would get some, but they would quickly be covered in egg sacks from braconid wasp. So I have plans to get back to my old method this year. Looks better and less work for me so a win-win.
