Companion planting native plants is overwhelming
I've gardened a little bit. I have tomatoes growing with some Coleus and Bee Balm (native to my area). One Okra plant. One Anaheim pepper plant. (Wasps ate my Kale)
I'm expanding my garden this year (in preparation for next year), and I want to do more companion planting. I want to grow native plants alongside my food plants.
But the "companion planting" lists all list non-native plant species.
The "native plant" lists don't mention a thing about companion planting AND are excessively long and overwhelming. I found one from my state's department of natural resources that is probably 50+ plants with no pictures. SO it would be a lot of homework.
And my state's University Extension Office doesn't talk about companion planting AT ALL. I expected them to promote it.
I suppose I could reach out to my local master gardeners, the free seed coordinator at my local library, or other local groups that might be able to help me with this. Yeah. That's a good idea.
