Ideal Plant Companions When Growing Vegetables |
|
|
A couple of years in a row, after we moved here, we planted a garden. The first one did really well. The 2nd one didn't. We'd always planted the same way, or so we thought. We finally figured out, after seeing the list below, what we were doing wrong, once we corrected it, it's been great gardening ever since!
- Beans: should be planted away from onions, garlic, shallots, and leeks.
- Beets: Plant away from pole beans and mustards.
- Broccoli: Avoid planting close to strawberries and sunflowers.
- Cabbage: This group doesn't mix well with strawberries, sunflowers, and grapes.
- Carrots: Keep away from dill.
- Corn: Don't plant too close to tomatoes and sunflowers.
- Eggplant: Keep away from potatoes, tomatoes and peppers.
- Garlic: Avoid planting near beans and peas.
- Lettuce: Avoid the cabbage family and sunflowers.
- Onions: Do not plant near beans and peas.
- Peas: Keep away from onions, garlic, shallots, and leeks.
- Peppers: They don't mix well with eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, and fennel.
- Potatoes: Best if planted away from eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, squash,
pumpkins and sunflowers.
- Strawberries: Keep away from members of the cabbage family.
- Tomatoes: They don't get along with corn, potatoes, peppers and eggplant.
Happy Gardening to You!

RE: Ideal Plant Locations When Growing Vegetables
I was having problems with my eggplants i use your tip and now everything is fine,thanks so much!
RE: Ideal Plant Locations When Growing Vegetables
Although you didn't really say WHERE the ideal location was for each plant, the information for what is known as "companion planting" will come in handy for what you have printed here as well. Thank you for this. It is likely several reasons a couple of my crops didn't make it. I will be more careful to refer to this list next time. God bless your homework! : )
