If you grow cucumbers both in a greenhouse and in a garden bed, you need to choose suitable plants that will grow alongside the vegetable crop.
Not every option can be called suitable.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the five most worthy options, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
Which neighbors will be the best?
Celery
We are talking about the leafy version of the plant, which can be safely planted near the main crop. Few people know that this type of celery has a positive effect on the development of the vegetable and even helps to reduce the number of pests.
Beet
It is difficult to find a crop that beets would have a hard time getting along with: this vegetable is very tolerant and easy to care for. If the size of the beets is not important to you, then you can choose any.
If you want to grow a large one, then try to pay attention to earlier varieties.
Corn
Few people know that these vegetable crops can become excellent neighbors. Moreover, there is evidence that the yield of cucumbers becomes significantly higher.
Cabbage
You can choose absolutely any variety and type of cabbage as a neighbor: there will not be any big differences. The only condition for a decent harvest is to keep a sufficient distance between the plants.
Garlic
This neighbor will help reduce the likelihood of developing diseases and will drive away pests from cucumbers. But there is one important point: crops cannot be planted within the same bed.
