Beets can be used to make not only amazing red borscht, but also a variety of salads and appetizers.
This healthy and tasty vegetable can be stuffed and stewed, and can also be used to make unique cutlets and pancakes.
That is why many summer residents grow this crop. It is an unpretentious plant that does not require special conditions. However, it is better to think in advance about crops that can be planted next to beets.
Good neighbors for beets
Beets grow well next to white cabbage, which is also an integral part of many dishes, including borscht.
Carrots are a good neighbor for beets, but there is a nuance. They have similar requirements for soil nutrition and equally deplete it. Therefore, the option is controversial, but some summer residents sow these crops next to each other.
What else can be planted next to beets:
- garlic and onion;
- cucumbers and tomatoes;
- legumes;
- strawberries;
- herbs and flowers.
Bad neighbors for beets
Mustard suppresses the root crop, and corn shades it. Pepper and beetroot have a mutually negative effect on each other.
The root vegetable does not like being close to fennel, parsley, chard, and spinach.
