Hello all.

I opened my veggie bin in the fridge yesterday and lo and behold, I found two big garlic blubs beginning to sprout. Yikes... I am usually much tidier than that... and I usually eat more garlic. But anyway, being a gardener, my first thought was that I should plant the garlic.

I did some research and found that now is the time to plant it in my zone. But after checking several companion planting books, I cannot find any other plants that like to be near garlic. In fact, my one companion planting book states that garlic makes a nice edging plant, that it deters Japanese beetles and aphids (maybe I should plant it near my roses) and that they can tolerate partial shade as long as they have direct sunlight for part of the day and it's a poor companion to beans, strawberries and peas. But nowhere can I find garlic companion plants either veg or herbs. Does anyone have experience with companion planting garlic?

Thanks,

PAM
