After fiddling with seedlings, everyone dreams of getting a solid harvest of eggplants, which will become the basis of many dishes.
However, no one plants only "eggplants". All summer residents want to get a harvest of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrots and other crops.
When planting plants, some summer residents do not take into account how certain crops get along nearby. However, this point is extremely important.
For example, there are plants that suppress the development of their neighbors by releasing special substances into the soil.
Tomatoes and eggplants
Many summer residents wonder whether it is possible to plant eggplants and tomatoes in the same greenhouse? These crops can be placed under the same roof.
But it is worth considering one important nuance. Both tomatoes and eggplants are nightshade plants. The plants are affected by the same diseases. Otherwise, the plants get along well next to each other.
Where is the best place to plant eggplants in a greenhouse
Eggplants have very large leaves that create a strong shadow. The plants can create unfavorable conditions for tomatoes. Therefore, it is better to plant eggplants on the north side of the greenhouse.
