What vegetables should not be planted next to each other in a garden?
For example, tomatoes and cucumbers can compete for nutrients and space, leading to reduced yields. Carrots and parsnips, when planted together, can attract similar pests, which can hinder their development. Peppers and beans should not be planted side by side because beans can inhibit the growth of peppers. Brassicas – they are heavy feeders that might steal nutrients from tomatoes. Potatoes– in the same family as tomatoes so susceptible to the same pests and heavy feeding. Corn– attract the same pests. Fennel – not a good companion plant for vegetables.
Are there any vegetables that can be planted in October?
October is a great time to get ahead and make early sowings of hardy annual flowers and bedding plants, along with vegetable crops like onions, garlic, broad beans and peas. Generally March and April, when the soil begins to warm, are the best months to begin sowing many hardy annual vegetable seeds outdoors including broccoli, cabbage, chard, carrots, peas and parsnips.
