It is better to grow these plants in different parts of the garden so that the harvest does not fail.

Some crops get along well when grown next to each other. Others, on the contrary, prevent their neighbors from producing a good harvest.

Carrots get along well with onions and cucumbers. But the root vegetable has one neighbor that takes all its strength.

Due to a lack of nutrients, carrots grow that can only compete in size with radishes.

A bad neighbor for the vegetable is dill. If you sow greens in the same area, the carrot will begin to lose a significant portion of macro- and microelements.

As a result, the root crop will grow weak, small and thin. In addition, dill attracts pests. For example, the carrot fly, whose larvae can ruin the harvest.

The vegetable does not like the proximity of parsley, anise, celery. It is better to plant these crops far from the carrot bed.
