So,… I got really high and accidentally planted Marigolds over my Scotch Bonnets.

I like to imagine that a pot cookie just transformed you into ‘Flower Gal Mode’ and you couldn’t resist the urge to spread beautiful flowers.

At least you won’t have aphids

I did the same thing with my jalapeños and sunflowers lol

I intentionally did the same this year after reading that marigolds are good companion plants as they are tastier to pests and will go for them instead of the peppers.
Also planted Alyssum and Dill for similar reasons.
Looking forward to seeing some blooms and what the results may be.

So I usually plant marigolds around my pepper tomato and other veggie plants and they usually don’t out compete the veggie plants. But a few of them will get really big somehow. I always get volunteer marigolds too since I sometimes don’t deadhead fast enough so it can get a little chaotic at times.
This year I added some hyssop, calendula and amaranth with the marigolds so well how it turns out this year.

I interplant marigolds with all my peppers. Always put a couple flowers in with them, and add seeds for more. Marigolds are a super beneficial plant to have in your garden. Pest control, pollinator popularity, deer/rabbit/rodent deterrent (well, as much as one can), and just general color.

Its still companion planting. its just Conjoined Companions at this point.

Might be a happy mistake, marigolds are a decent pest deterrent

I mean honestly a good move, bringing pollinators and also deterring aphids. All while making it look pretty at the same time
