Hoping the dill I planted in the back sprouts up. I can give nasturtiums a try next season, or plant a few in the corner where the marigolds end

Instead of marigolds, plant dill and nasturtiums.
Nasturtiums (which are edible) draw all the aphids. Dill draws all the ladybugs which eat the aphids.
Excess ladybugs means praying mantises and dragonflies.
I do this every year and the only things I have to worry about are june bugs which are scarabs and in such high numbers, the only solution is to use bug spray.
