Cucumbers are one of the most popular vegetable crops. It is difficult to find a summer resident who would refuse to grow these vegetables on his plot.

But any gardener who grows cucumbers year after year knows that the crop is capricious.

It will bear fruit well next to some plants, but next to others it may even die.

Therefore, when choosing a place for planting, one should take this subtlety into account.

You can plant corn. It will protect the plantings from wind and sun, and can also become a good support for bindweed.

Experienced gardeners say that peas will bear fruit well in combination with cucumbers.

In addition, you can plant onions and garlic. They not only get along well with green vegetables, but also disinfect the soil and drive away parasites from the beds.
