Vegetable Gardening: NEVER Plant These Veggies Together

There’s nothing like vegetable gardening for cooking with fresh vegetables and herbs. If you’re a cook and a gardener, you’ve probably done some research about vegetable gardening and what to grow for the best flavors and results. It is important to never plant these veggies together

Strategic planting might cut down on insects, diseases and weeds. But do you realize that there are also vegetable plants that should NOT be planted close together? There’s actually an entire list of vegetables that don’t make good planting partners. Here’s what you need to know.

Vegetable Gardening: Plants That Don’t Grow Well Together

Never Plant These Veggies Together

1. Beans

When planting beans, don’t plant them near garlic or onions.

2. Turnips

Never plant turnips and potatoes next to each other.

3. Cabbage

Don’t plant cabbage next to tomatoes or strawberries.

4. Tomatoes

For tomatoes, don’t plant them adjacent to fennel, potatoes, cabbage, or cauliflower.

5. Carrots

The only thing you really shouldn’t plant next to carrots is the herb dill.

6. Squash

Don’t plant your squash next to your tomatoes. They’re not friends.

7. Corn

Corn and tomatoes should not be planted together.

8. Cucumbers

Don’t plant cucumbers next to sage or potatoes.

9. Peas

Your peas will be better off when not planted next to garlic, onions, or leeks.

10. Radishes

For best results with radishes, plant them farther away from cabbage.

11. Onions

Beans and peas should not be planted near your onions.

12. Potatoes

Potatoes are super easy to grow — unless you plant them near tomatoes, squash, or pumpkins. Grow potatoes in their own area of your garden for best results.

13. Peppers

If you’re planting peppers this year, keep them planted away from kohlrabi. Now that you have this list down, you can move onto planting your flower garden!
