Is it possible to grow pumpkin next to zucchini: not all summer residents know the correct answer
Many summer residents are thinking about the possibility of joint plantings or about the "compact" arrangement of crops.
Often such experiments can be called successful.
However, some crops can get along extremely poorly. For example, not everyone knows whether it is possible to plant pumpkins next to zucchini. An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh notes that this issue is one of the most pressing.
Is it possible to grow plants nearby
Despite the fact that the crops are related, they should not be planted next to each other. In most cases, such an undertaking will be unsuccessful due to a number of reasons.
Firstly, the risk of diseases that are the same for pumpkins and squashes increases. In this case, you will have a high risk of losing the entire harvest.
Secondly, don't forget about cross-pollination. And while pumpkins can "survive" this, zucchini can completely lose their pleasant taste.
Thirdly, crops have different soil and watering needs.
Therefore, it is worth "resettling" pumpkins and squashes.
