Cabbages and Marigolds

I saw this picture on a Vegetable Gardening website, and just loved it!!! Cabbages and Marigolds planted together.
They said that the marigolds deter the cabbage white butterflies from the cabbages. I've grown marigolds all over my garden for years, and the cabbage whites still come and lay their eggs on all things Brassica: kale, turnips, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower. Maybe I need to crowd the marigolds in closer to the cabbages. Next spring...
Anyway, isn't this a great picture? Wonder where they walk? This looks like a commercial operation; they probably harvest by machine.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
