True connoisseurs of this culture try to approach the growing process with special responsibility. It is important to take into account any little things.

Particular attention should be paid to the choice of neighbors for eggplants.

Still, there are plants that can positively influence the yield of this vegetable crop.

But it is necessary to take into account that some neighbors, which are chosen poorly, can ruin the plantings.

What to plant next to eggplants

It is important to remember that the plants that will grow nearby should not be too tall, otherwise they may block the eggplants' access to sunlight.

Crops should have equal needs for water and heat.

So, as experienced gardeners note, eggplants and peppers get along well together. They have the same needs, and they also have the same growing season. But the distance between them should be at least 60 cm.

Zucchini, cabbage, melon and watermelon will also be good neighbors.

You can plant radishes, greens, and beans next to eggplants.
