Maybe because we have hot dry summers, but I cram veggies herbs and flowers into every available space, and everything grows great. In addition to marigolds and nasturtiums, I also plant zinnias, bachelor buttons, Calendula, alyssum, lavender, geranium, petunias and borage. Not only is it beautiful in a wild unkept sort of way, I always have lots of pollinators, and rarely have pest problems. My only requirement for flowers in the veggie garden is it has to be eatable.
Even though this is the flower forum I want to mention basil is a super companion for tomatoes and peppers.
Good luck.
