Why pumpkin shouldn't be planted next to zucchini
Not every beginner knows that not all fruit crops can be planted nearby.
Therefore, it is necessary to think through the planting scheme in advance.
For example, pumpkins and squashes are often planted together.
But this is a mistake. They should not be next to each other, otherwise the taste of the vegetables will suffer.
The fact is that these plants cross-pollinate when planted together.
As a result, the shape of the fruit also changes.
Also, the proximity of pumpkin to some other vegetables will have a negative effect.
As seasoned summer residents note, this crop cannot be combined with potatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers or tomatoes.
You can plant pumpkin next to legumes.
But the best option is to plant it separately from other plants.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account that pumpkin cannot be planted after cucumbers, zucchini, squash. This is due to the fact that they have common diseases and pests.
