Is it possible to grow tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in the same greenhouse: here are the nuances that need to be taken into account
Growing tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers under one roof involves a number of important nuances.
Experienced gardeners noted that such “neighborhood” is acceptable.
But, if possible, it is better not to plant these crops in the same greenhouse. Tomatoes and cucumbers do not get along well in this combination.
Cucumbers and peppers grow well together. The following combination is also acceptable: cucumbers, peppers and melons (melon or watermelon).
But there is no strict ban on growing three crops in one greenhouse. Some summer residents grow them and do not complain about the results, but they take into account a number of nuances.
Cucumbers and tomatoes need regular ventilation. Peppers are resistant to high temperatures and humidity. Cucumbers, in addition to ventilation, need abundant watering.
Gardeners take these features into account when trying to plant three crops in a greenhouse.
So, tomatoes are planted in the most ventilated parts. Areas with the freshest air are allocated for them. Ventilated areas are also allocated for cucumbers. Peppers are placed approximately in the middle of the greenhouse.
