Im starting to prepare for planting my new raised beds, I have read that its a good idea to do companion planting.

If i want to plant marigolds and nasturtiums with my vegetables how far do i space them between the veggies?

Or is it best to plant the veggies first at the spacing indicated on packet, and then plat the flowers in gaps inbetween?

thanks

Evening New_gardener, if your raised beds are not very big, i would just dot one or two plants in each bed.
You don't really want to overcrowd things as this often leads to mildew, and plants trying to compete with each other.

But of course, if you have a large area you can plant rows or just mingle them in, but still think about your spacings.
