While they may taste incredible together in your salad, tomato plants really detest developing in closeness to any member from the cucurbit family, which incorporates cucumbers. Tomatoes love carrots and basil, so planting these together will really make them grow much more vigorously.
The possibility that a few plants and plant families are “companions” with others and develop better together is called companion planting, and it’s been around since the beginning of gardening itself.
Planting your vegetables in flawless rows with labels is fulfilling to the eye, and less demanding to harvest. Be that as it may, when we look to nature, we don’t see perfect rows, nor do plants all develop bunched up in groups of the same plant.
Copying nature’s biodiversity may make your garden look untidy, yet it’s been demonstrated to help every individual plant to develop better. Plants in a polyculture are stronger and have a tendency to have less misfortunes from insects or diseases.
Plants like carrots, dill, parsley, and parsnip will draw in praying mantises, ladybugs, and insects. These predator species of insects feast on the bugs who like to ruin your tomatoes.
This is likewise why it’s an incredible thought to mix some flowers in your vegetable garden, particularly marigolds and nasturtiums. These blooms will draw in and nourish useful pollinator insects. Nasturtiums are consumable flowers and look stunning in plates of salads, and their nutritious root, called mashua.
However, few plants just don’t get along, and won’t do well when they’re compelled to share root space. Peppers and beans don’t like being beside each other, nor do potatoes and tomatoes (both individuals from the nightshade family). Peas favor being far from onions, and lettuces don’t like to be close to broccoli plants.
