Companion planting is the practice of planting specific crops in close proximity to each other to enhance nutrient uptake, provide pest control, encourage pollination, and increase crop production.

Seasoned gardeners have determined that certain plants improve the growth of tomatoes by repelling ​insect pests and diseases, while others are best kept at a distance.

Learn which herbs, flowers, and root vegetables make the best (and worst) tomato companion plants.

Vegetable Garden Companion Planting

What Is Companion Planting

Companion planting is also known as interplanting, intercropping, or creating a polyculture. It is the practice of partnering plants so they gain mutual benefits from growing near one another or from succession planting (staggering crop plantings).

The benefits of companion planting include pest control, weed reduction, and disease prevention. Some plant partnerships can enhance soil and attract pollinators. Applying companion planting practices in your tomato garden will help manage damaging pests that are attracted to this vegetable.

Best Tomato Companion Plants

What grows best next to tomatoes? Here are recommended companion plants—both best plants and beneficial plants—that can improve the health and flavor of tomatoes, and include the following herbs, flowers, and root vegetables. Some plants are used as standard crops and others are used as cover crops (grown solely to improve the soil, prevent erosion, and act as mulch).

10 Companion Herbs for Tomato Gardens

Worst Tomato Companion Plants

These plants are infamous for inhibiting tomato plant growth and increasing their susceptibility to pests or diseases and should not be planted with tomatoes.

  • Cabbage (Brassica) family: Relatives of cabbage stunt the growth of tomato plants (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, kohlrabi, rutabaga, and turnip). However, some gardeners do like placing collard greens a few feet away from their tomato plants to lure away damaging harlequin bugs.
  • Corn: The corn earworm is the same as the tomato fruitworm (Helicoverpa zea). Growing plants in proximity that are susceptible to the same pests can invite disaster and a decimated garden.
  • Eggplant, peppers, and potatoes: These plants are in the nightshade family like tomatoes, and are all susceptible to early and late blight, which can build up in the soil and get worse each year. Avoid planting them near each other or in place of each other for at least three years. Hornworms (Manduca quinquemaculata, the larva stage of the five-spotted hawkmoth) love the foliage and fruit of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants and can quickly decimate plants. Also, planting tomatoes near potatoes can make the potatoes more susceptible to potato blight.
  • Fennel: Fennel secretes a substance from its roots that inhibits tomato plant growth. This secretion affects many other garden plants, too. However, some gardeners deploy fennel to manage aphid invasions.
  • Walnuts: Do not plant tomatoes under walnut or butternut trees, which produce an allelopathic chemical called juglone that inhibits the growth of tomatoes (and all the members of the nightshade family). Tomatoes are also susceptible to the disease walnut wilt.

Tomatoes and Roses

While several plants are touted as terrific tomato companions, tomatoes can act as companion plants, too. Tomatoes have been shown to protect roses from a disease called black spot.

If you can't plant tomatoes among your roses, make a spray of liquefied tomato leaves, a tablespoon of cornstarch, and about 4 pints of water. Spritz your roses once a week to keep black spot at bay.

How to Grow and Care for Nasturtium

Nasturtium plants include both perennial and annual flowering species in the Tropaeolum genus, which encompasses more than 80 different plants. These herbaceous flowers are native to South and Central America and known for their rich, saturated, jewel-toned colors. Planted in the spring after the threat of frost has passed, they are fast and easy to grow. In fact, they do best with a little neglect. In general, nasturtium flowers tend to the hot end of the color spectrum. The rounded leaves look like miniature lotus leaves.

There are nasturtium varieties for almost every gardening purpose: bushy plants for borders and edges, trailing plants for walls and containers, and climbers that add dramatic height. The leaves and flowers are edible, with a peppery tang, so you'll often find this plant in vegetable gardens planted alongside broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, where it keeps pests away.

Watch Now: How to Grow and Care for the Nasturtium Plant

Nasturtium Care

Nasturtiums are started either from seed as annuals, or purchased as starts at nurseries, where you may find them alongside other vegetable companions. The seeds germinate quickly and the plant starts blooming soon after. Once planted, nasturtiums generally takes care of themselves, requiring the same amount of water as you would give surrounding plants. Deadheading (removing spent blooms) is usually not necessary, however, pulling ripe flowers for use in salads and to place on top of summer desserts is always recommended.

Nasturtiums spill beautifully over walls and onto pavers when used as edging. They also hold up well in containers. Bushy, ground-hugging nasturtiums will fill bloom gaps in a sunny perennial garden and work well planted among daylilies or roses.

Light

Nasturtiums grow and bloom best when planted in an area of full sun that receives six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. This plant can tolerate some shade (three to six hours of sunlight), but might not bloom as profusely. When planted in a warm climate, some shade is actually preferred, as hot temperatures may end up browning leaves.

Soil

Surprisingly, nasturtium flowers do well in relatively infertile soil with good drainage. Soil that's too rich will result in abundant greenery, but few flowers. This plant grows best in soil with a neutral pH (6 to 8) and can tolerate dry conditions, although a moderate amount of moisture is appreciated.  

Water

Nasturtiums typically prefer weekly watering, but can be watered more often when planted in a greenhouse or in a sunny vegetable plot. In these conditions, the water demand can be high from surrounding plants and will dry the soil quickly. Nasturtiums will survive moderate droughts, but blooms will likely diminish and the foliage will begin to look spindly.  

Temperature and Humidity

Some varieties of nasturtium are planted as perennials in USDA growing zones 9 through 11. However, in most North American climates, this plant is treated as an annual, completing its life cycle in just one growing season. They prefers daytime temperatures in the 70s F and can survive a light frost, but not a cold freeze. Additionally, this plant prefers average humidity levels (between 30 and 50 percent), yet it's not overly particular. Nasturtiums can struggle, however, in extremely dry or extremely humid conditions.

Fertilizer

Using synthetic fertilizers is usually not recommended, as many gardeners grow them to eat. Organic gardeners rarely need to amend the soil before planting, unless conditions are very poor or the surrounding vegetables need soil im[rpvements. Just remember, robust soil properties can cause nasturtiums to put out more foliage and fewer flowers, so a good balance is important.

Types of Nasturtium

Nasturtium plants grow full, with rounded leaves and colored blooms peeking out behind their greenery. The flowers of this plant are funnel-shaped and come in varying shades of yellow, orange, pink, and red. Certain varieties boast subdued shades of butter yellow and cream, and others have variegated leaves.

Of the dozens of species of nasturtiums, favorites include:

  • The 'Alaska' Series' is a colorful heirloom variety with variegated foliage that holds different colored blossoms above its leaves. This bushy dwarf plant thrives in poor soil conditions and reaches a compact spread of 8 to 10 inches.
  • The 'Jewel' Series' grows vigorously to a height of 16 inches and produces different colored flowers in yellow, red, orange, mahogany, and rose. This variety is a profuse bloomer, but the flowers tend to get lost under the foliage.
  • The flowers of 'Peach Melba' taste like watercress and are two-toned—yellow with maroon spots near the center. This bushy dwarf plant works well in containers and has a mature height and spread of 10 to 12 inches.
  • 'Canary Creeper' is a trailing variety that is best planted near fences or trellises, giving it the opportunity to climb. This unique variety boasts yellow flowers that look different from more common varieties, as they spread out like canary wings.

Pruning

Trailing nasturtium varieties are prone to legginess and usually need pruning mid-summer, and then again in late summer, to stimulate new growth and blooms. Trim the longest stems back by 6 to 12 inches on trailing varieties and thin browning leaves and flowers by pinching them off at the base. For bushy varieties, trimming stems is not generally needed, but pinching off spent flowers and dried leaves will aid in the plant's overall aesthetic.

Propagating Nasturtium

After pruning your nasturtium, it is possible, and easy, to propagate the cuttings. You may also want to grow a new plant from a cutting if a large portion breaks off or if you want to replant the same variety in another part of your garden.

Here's how to propagate nasturtium from cuttings:

  1. Gather garden sheers, a pot with drainage holes, potting soil, and rooting hormone powder (optional).
  2. Fill the pot with potting soil.
  3. Select a stem from your mature nasturtium plant and cut off a 4-inch (or longer) piece with at least three leaves intact. Dip the cut end into rooting powder (this is not necessary, but may speed up the process).
  4. Poke a hole in the center of the soil and insert at least 1 inch of the stem into the hole.
  5. Backfill the hole gently with your fingers and water the pot carefully in the sink.
  6. Allow the pot to drain and place it in a sunny window or under grow lights.
  7. Check for roots in about one week. Once strongly rooted, transplant the stem into your sunny garden and continue to keep the soil moist.

How to Grow Nasturtium From Seed

Most gardeners choose to sow nasturtiums annually from seed. Seeds can be sown directly in the garden once the soil has warmed, or started indoors two to four weeks before the average last spring frost date. For outdoor planting, sow seeds directly into soil that is at least 55 to 65 F, and plant them 1/2 inch deep and 10 to 12 inches apart. Keep the soil continuously moist until seeds sprout, which should take about a week to 10 days.

When planting in pots, sow seeds in peat or paper pots, as nasturtiums can be finicky about transplanting. This will reduce transplant shock.

Potting and Repotting Nasturtium

Sowing seeds directly into pots is the best method for growing nasturtiums in containers. You can also sow seeds in peat starter pots, and then move them into a larger vessel once the seedlings sprout. A good quality potting mix will do, but don't opt for one with added fertilizer if you want more blooms. Nasturtiums grow best in natural stone or clay containers with ample drainage. You can also add a layer of stones or pebbles to the bottom of the pot, before adding soil, to increase the drainage capacity.

Common Pests and Diseases

Nasturtiums are prone to aphid infestation, consequently making them a good companion to, and deterrent for, vegetables also vulnerable to aphids. If your plant's foliage looks crinkled, or otherwise unhealthy, aphids might be the problem. Reduce the population with a strong blast of water from your garden hose. You can also opt for a non-toxic spray made at home from diluted vinegar or essential oils like lavender and peppermint. Better yet, plant catnip alongside nasturtiums to deter the pests altogether.

This plant can also contract bacterial leaf spot under improper conditions. Small brown or black spots will show on the leaves if this is the issue. You can minimize or prevent the problem by providing ample airflow between plants and watering with drip irrigation, as opposed to sprinklers, as this condition spreads by splashing water.

How to Get Nasturtium to Bloom

Nasturtiums begin to bloom when temperatures rise, so make sure your plant is in a sunny, warm location to assure maximum color. If your nasturtium hasn't started blooming within four to six weeks after sprouting, then you may need to wait for the outdoor temperatures to rise, or for weather conditions to improve.

Plants with abundant foliage but no blooms may be an indicator of rich soil conditions. While it's usually not recommended to fertilize this plant, under these circumstances, a plant food high in phosphorous may help promote flowers. Opt for natural products, like bone meal or rock phosphate, especially if you plan on eating the flowers. Pruning your plant may also help if you planted a variety that holds flowers under its leaves.

Common Problems With Nasturtium

Some varieties of nasturtium actually obstruct flower production due to the plant's physical structure. If you are growing nasturtium at ground level, as opposed to one that trails or vines, choose a variety that holds its flowers above its leaves, allowing the sun to get to the buds.

Root rot can also affect nasturtium if the soil is water logged. This plant prefers almost sandy soil, so make sure there is ample drainage in the location you select.

what to plant on the same bed with tomatoes in a greenhouse

Mixed or compacted plantings are beneficial to us from several sides. Firstly, we get more crops from one bed. Secondly, the earth is never empty, which means it does not crack, does not erode, loses less moisture and nutrients. Thirdly, properly selected accompanying crops will also help us in the fight against pests.

In addition to the main crop, it is also recommended to sow several accompanying crops even in a greenhouse on the same bed with our beloved tomatoes. Let's find out what can be planted next to tomatoes in a greenhouse, which neighbor they will be happy with, and which not so much.

What can be planted on the same bed as tomatoes in the greenhouse

To start with, additional crops can be grown on the same bed as tomatoes in two stages.

At the first stage, we use the sown area even before planting tomato seedlings in the ground. Already at the end of March, early and fast-growing crops are planted on future tomato beds - radishes, lettuce, arugula, onions, pak-choi cabbage . By the time the time comes to plant seedlings of tomatoes, half of the "pioneers" will have already been eaten, and the second half will be eaten while the tomatoes take root, take root and settle in a new place.

At the second stage, we will plant "companions" next to already growing tomato bushes.

One of the best garden neighbors for tomatoes is basil . It improves the taste of the fruit and repels the horned worm. The neighborhood with tomatoes in the greenhouse does not harm the basil itself either - as long as it gets enough light and nutrition. Other herbs ( thyme, mint, sage ) are also good for mixed plantings with tomatoes, because they keep soil pests out of the garden. A borage borage also improves the quality of tomato juice and prolongs the shelf life of fruits. Of the herbs, only lemon balm is not suitable for tomatoes.

If the goal of joint plantings is not to get a double crop, but to improve the soil and protect tomatoes from diseases and pests, then tomato beds are decorated with useful flowers: nasturtium, calendula and undersized marigolds.

When the main problem is phytophthora, it is recommended to add 9 to tomatoes in neighbors0013 mustard, onion and garlic , whose phytoncides are not favored by the harmful fungus.

Green crops coexist well on the same bed with tomatoes - spinach, parsley, asparagus, sorrel, celery, lettuce and kale. But dill and fennel are better planted elsewhere in the garden.

Of the green manures, Phacelia is most often chosen as a partner for tomatoes, which repels nematodes, wireworms and prevents the development of pathogens.

Having planted carrots and beets “at the feet” of tomatoes, we probably will not grow giant root crops. But quite decent carrots and juicy small beets are easy.

In the second half of summer, seedlings Chinese cabbage can be added to tomatoes. In a greenhouse, a Pekinese is more likely to avoid cruciferous flea and grow slowly until frost.

When planting herbs, green manure, vegetable crops next to tomatoes, you need to make sure that they do not overgrow and do not shade the tomatoes. For example, mustard is cut by color, basil is pinched and cut off branches for consumption, etc. And the tomatoes themselves must be regularly tied up, pinched and cut off the lower leaves so that the accompanying crops can get their share of light.

Tomato neighbors in the greenhouse

More or less sorted out with the companions in the garden, and now let's talk about the tomato neighbors in the greenhouse. In theory, we all understand that different cultures prefer different growing conditions and driving cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers into one greenhouse is not a good idea, but ... In practice, most gardeners really only have one greenhouse. The maximum is two. Therefore, heat-loving vegetables have to get along with each other.

Is it possible to plant cucumbers and tomatoes in the same greenhouse?

Cucumbers and tomatoes have completely different requirements for the greenhouse microclimate, one might say, they are opposite. Tomatoes need dry air, ventilation, high (but not excessive) air temperature, rare but plentiful watering. Cucumbers love moisture and heat. If it is possible to grow cucumbers separately, it should be used.

Nevertheless, many summer residents successfully divide the greenhouse between these two vegetables and do not complain about the harvest. It is best to single out two zones in one greenhouse, separating one from the other with a dense material (plywood, carbonate, glass film). Then in each zone you can create your own conditions favorable for a particular culture.

Can eggplants be planted next to tomatoes?

Eggplant does not like neighbors at all, and its requirements for environmental conditions are very specific (we talked about this in more detail HERE). He needs more moisture, no drafts and plenty of sunlight. In addition, eggplants and tomatoes belong to the same nightshade family, which means that similar pests and diseases can affect them, and they “pull” the same substances from the soil.

Only one conclusion can be drawn from this - eggplants and tomatoes are not recommended to be greenhouse neighbors. Or you will again have to divide the greenhouse into zones, as in the case of cucumbers.

Is it possible to grow peppers and tomatoes in the same greenhouse?

But we were more lucky with peppers. Their preferences regarding humidity, air temperature and top dressing with tomatoes are almost the same. Even though peppers are also nightshades, these two crops grow surprisingly well in the same greenhouse. In addition, the smell of tomato tops repels aphids, which love to settle on peppers so much.

Most importantly, do not forget to tie up both peppers and tomatoes, pinch and form bushes in time, because both crops need good light to grow and bear fruit.

We wish you success and great harvests!

What to plant next to tomatoes, is it possible to plant cucumbers and cabbage next to tomatoes

Contents:

is one of the ten most popular vegetables in the world. It has been cultivated since the 8th century. Peru is considered the birthplace of the vegetable. About 10 thousand varieties are now known. They differ in size, weight, color, taste: the smallest is about 2 cm in diameter, and the largest is 1.5 kg. These fruits are red, black, yellow. They contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals useful for humans. Tomatoes are widely used in cooking, because they retain their useful qualities even after heat treatment.

The tomato belongs to the nightshade family and is commonly grown as an annual crop. In most regions of Russia, the seedling method is used. Harvest can be obtained both in protected and open ground. The optimum temperature for growth is 22-28°C. Does not tolerate frost. Gardeners grow varieties of different bush heights. They also differ in terms of maturation.

Planting together

Growing a high yield of vegetables is easy. Any gardener thinks about what can be planted nearby so that all plants feel good. Recently, more and more often, gardeners began to grow different vegetables in the same garden.

Joint plantings have many advantages:

Joint landings are placed according to certain principles. It is not necessary to memorize the entire list of good and bad neighbors, it is important to understand why this happens.

Tomatoes, who will be their neighbors

Rules for placing joint plantings:

One of the options for mixed plantings is the following order: early culture, main, subsequent. So, before planting tomato seedlings in a permanent place, you can place radishes, onions on a feather, lettuce, Chinese cabbage in the garden.

Excellent Neighborhood

Many plots have one defensive structure for earlier vegetable harvests. Therefore, questions arise about how to plant more different plants, while making sure that they do not oppress each other. What can be planted next to tomatoes if they take up most of the greenhouse?

Video: What can be planted next to corn

In greenhouses, gardeners combine plantings with pepper. How justified is this?

Pepper and tomato are good neighbors because:

This neighborhood is acceptable if it is good to protect vegetables from diseases and pests.

Please note! If you plant basil next to tomatoes, pests will be less likely to raid them. Experts also argue that the taste of a tomato benefits from such a neighborhood.

What else can be planted? Watermelons, melons get along well in the same greenhouse with tomatoes. It is convenient to plant lettuce, radishes, onions, spinach, dill nearby in the greenhouse. They can be placed indoors even before the tomatoes are placed there. It must be remembered that dill should be removed in time so that adult plants do not take food from the main crop.

Peppers and tomatoes, great allies

What can be planted with tomatoes in the same greenhouse? In the spring, you can get a crop of Beijing cabbage, which feels good nearby. In a greenhouse you can plant near tomatoes:

Care should be taken that the tomatoes do not shield the younger brothers from the sun. Dill can be planted next to tomato bushes if it is removed before the tomatoes start to set.

And every gardener should know what to plant tomatoes with in an open field garden. There are plants with which plantings are useful for tomatoes. To cope with nematodes, you should plant asparagus nearby, which releases repellent volatile substances. Onion and garlic phytoncides are useful in fighting infections in any garden, for example, such neighbors will save you from late blight, spider mites. The scoop pest does not tolerate the presence of bird cherry. Basil repels pests.

Good neighbors of tomatoes in the open field:

It will benefit the plants if you plant mint, sage, calendula next to the tomato. In open ground, tomatoes are good to combine with pumpkin, melon, watermelon. Planting tomatoes and strawberries makes it possible to get 2 crops from one area: berries and vegetables. It should be noted that in this case it is not necessary to choose tall varieties of tomatoes so that they do not cover the strawberries from the sun. The row spacing should provide light access to the berry bushes.

You can plant tomatoes, carrots, radishes and beets on the same bed.

Please note! Improve the taste of tomatoes basil, lemon balm, mint, savory, sage.

Tomato saves plants from pests and diseases. What to plant next to tomatoes to prevent crop loss? If at least one tomato grows next to gooseberries, currants, then there will be no moth, sawfly.

It will be good for a zucchini near the tomato, it will be saved from aphids, moths, and sawflies.

Cabbage is afraid of the smell of tomatoes, therefore, in the fight against it, it is best to use leaves infusions.

Growing tomatoes next to raspberry bushes should be done only if they will not provide shade for the vegetable. Landings do not need to be placed close. The raspberry bush should be a meter wide from the tomato bush so that you can easily pick berries. In addition, raspberry roots will not take away nutrition from a tomato.

Nettle neighbors well

Interesting! If nettle grows next to tomato bushes, there is no need to rush to clean it. It makes the quality of tomato juice higher, and it lasts longer.

What can not be planted with tomatoes

Is it possible to plant melons next to zucchini

You should be aware of the compatibility of tomatoes with other crops, especially if it concerns neighbors that should be avoided.

If there is a greenhouse on the plot, the question often arises as to whether it is possible to get early harvests by combining cucumber and tomato plantings. Experts say that this should not be done.

Causes of bad neighborhood of cucumber and tomato:

It is not worth growing cucumber and tomato in the same greenhouse. Joint plantings will lead to a decrease in the yield of these vegetables.

Often in greenhouses on personal plots you can find joint plantings of tomato and eggplant. This is a bad neighborhood, leading to a decrease in the yield of both crops.

Why you should not plant tomatoes and eggplant:

If there is only one greenhouse, but you want to grow early vegetables, then you should create zones with different microclimates. You can block off the greenhouse with the help of film, non-woven fabric and other devices. Polycarbonate is also well suited for partitions. In addition, you need to plant vegetables in different beds. It is advisable to plant tomatoes closer to the exit, so that there is an opportunity to ventilate.

Vegetable growers often ask what kind of tomato neighbors in the garden are not desirable. The following plants should be avoided:

Orchard quinoa

Attention! It is advisable not to plant plants next to tomatoes that cover them from the sun. Cabbage plots in the garden should not be next to tomatoes. They need different amounts of water.

Potatoes and corn should not be placed next to tomatoes in open ground.
