Onions are a healthy vegetable that perfectly complements various dishes. Therefore, many summer residents actively grow this plant on their own plots.

But to improve the quality of the harvest, you need to plant crops nearby that will protect the onions from diseases and pests.

Onions get along well with flowers. For example, you can plant calendula or marigolds nearby, which will repel pests with their aroma.

In addition, it is acceptable to plant parsley nearby.

It is believed that such greens not only improve the taste of the vegetable, but also saturate the soil with useful elements. At the same time, parsley can repel harmful insects that can quickly destroy the fruits.
