If you want to boost the productivity and flavor of your crops in the garden, then check out this list of Vegetables You Should Never Plant Together and Why.
Vegetables in the brassica family, such as cabbage, broccoli, and kohlrabi, can impede the growth of nightshade family vegetables, including peppers – this is because brassica family vegetables produce a chemical called glucosinolate, which is harmful to nightshades.
The chemical breaks down into isothiocyanates which inhibit the growth of nightshade plants.
What to Plant with them?
Onions, tomatoes, and eggplant are suitable companion plants for peppers, while mint, cucumber, or lettuce make good companions for cabbage when planting.
You should never grow corn and tomatoes together as both of these plants can be affected by late blight. Growing them together increases the risk of this disease spreading to both. But that’s not all.
Corn is a heavy feeder and needs a lot of nutrients, which will mean less nutrients for the tomatoes, affecting their health. Tomatoes may also use the corn plant for support and become tall – getting damaged by strong winds.
What to Plant with them?
For better tomato flavors, plant them with basil or chives, never with dill. Carrots are also a good choice.
Both of these are nightshade vegetables and are affected by the same diseases. If you grow them together, you will have lower yields and poor quality produce as they have different growing needs – so you can only cater to one if they are planted together, and the other one will suffer. They also compete for space in the garden.
What to Plant with them?
Zucchini plants can thrive when planted with corn, as the cornstalks provide a support structure for the vines. It also pairs well with melons
