Some vegetable plants grow great together. They can look quite showy in a group, and make your vegetable plot look like a work of art!
Onion tops tend to blow over in the wind here, so I plant a long bed of 2 rows of carrots with 1 row or onions down the center, with enough space between to pass a pointed hoe. The bushy carrot tops hold up and protect the onions.
I plant corn 4- 5 seeds to a hill early, with a pole in the center. when the weather is warm enough for them I plant 3-4 pole been seeds by the pole and transplant 2 cucumber plants at the sides of the hill. I train the cukes to twine around and up through the corn, and it looks quite grand!
Little beds on the edge of the garden in full sun for lettuce, green onions and radish, surrounding 1 or 2 Eggplants looks quite elegant!
Fennel looks furn umbrellas growing over your cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts and seams to repel ants and aphids
Sunflowers look nice growing by the fence or gate, but remember to keep them away from your potatoes and pole beans.
When planing where to put plants, think about you sprinkler flow and try to place tall at the back and sides and flow down to the shortest at the front, this also looks so nice to see.
Mary golds are compatible to the garden, not too many (as too much can sour the soil) and chamomile for color and attracting the bee friends, Cosmos love the garden too!Have Fun! *_*
