What plants should not be planted with cucumbers: the worst options are named - a note for the summer resident

Cucumbers are one of the crops that can react extremely critically to their neighbors.

Some crops do not interfere with the development of vegetables, but some can have a sharp negative effect.

If you do not want to reduce the yield of cucumbers, then some plants should definitely not be planted nearby, noted landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

Which neighbors would be the worst choice?

Tomatoes

Despite the fact that in some greenhouses these vegetables can be seen as neighbors, it is not worth doing so. First of all, this idea is doomed to failure for the reason that the plants have different needs for maintenance conditions.

Secondly, you shouldn’t plant them nearby because of late blight.

Spicy herbs with a pungent aroma

These plants may not have a negative impact on the development of cucumbers and will not compete for nutrients. But there is one significant drawback: they can spoil the taste of the vegetable.

Any pumpkin crops

These plants could be grown side by side, if not for one thing: in this case, the cucumbers will be susceptible to diseases.

Also, such a neighborhood can cause the appearance of more pests.
