As I have no idea of growing vegetables, I couldn't comment much on the subject.
To be honest, my main concern was to take some photos of those bees and vegetables (shame on me).
Looking at the garden, I couldn't understand why are all these flowers planted among vegetables? I thought it's a leak of her imagination that vegetables and flowers are not planted in separate areas. I was wrong, of course, and I've learned a very complicated lesson about companion planting.
"Companion planting is the planting of different crops in proximity (in gardening and agriculture), on the theory that they assist each other in nutrient uptake, pest control, pollination, and other factors necessary to increasing crop productivity."
-Wikipedia
They are beautiful companions, indeed.

I agree with companion planting and it happens with all the plants, like human they need company to feel happy and productive.
Good Evening Sweet Friend...
What a beautiful share you have. I love the flower with the bee, but the plants and flower photos are all just gorgeous. Your neighbor has a very green thumb because her garden is ezquisite. Everything looks so happy.
Thank you for sharing with me this evening. Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

aloha,
i enjoyed your scenic sunday post, its a really beautiful flowers, the pictures are really nice and sharp

I did not know about "companion planting", but it makes a lot of sense. Beautiful, vivid images.
I have not heard of male and female cucumbers, may be the one with flowers is a male.
I used to grow them, so did my parents. I didn't encounter one without any fruit.
Perhaps the cuke with only flowers has not really gotten going yet. Great photos. And yes, companion planting is an old and useful custom. There's a lot of info on the web on it. If you garden for food especially it's very worthwhile.
gorgeous flowers! such wonderful shots!
Wonderful shots! Really beautiful flowers
These are absolutely magnificent.
very beautiful flowers. You captured them very well. My fave is the cucumber flower.
Your friend has the right idea with companion planting - its really useful for particular vegetables. Great photos from a lovely garden.
Beautiful photo of the bee on the yellow flower. I like the idea of planting flowers in the veggie garden.
The bee looks very happy with the cucumber bloom even if there are no cucumbers. I can grow most any kind of flower but when it comes to veggies I have no luck at all.
