Companion Planting Chart For Vegetables

Companion planting chart for vegetables is a quick reference for when you are planning and sketching your spring garden layout.

Companion vegetable plants help each other grow – For example: Tall  big leaf plants provide shade for sun sensitive shorter plants.

Companion vegetable plants help prevent damaging insects problems – For example:  Plants can repel certain insects that can damage a vegetable crop. Some insects detest certain vegetables and by planting them a vegetable they find delicious is one way to deal with the problem.  ( Think of it this way – if you put a dirty sock on a slice of pizza… your no longer going to want to eat that slice of pizza)

Companions vegetable plants attract beneficial insects – Planting certain vegetables near each other brings predators of damaging insects. (Predators will get a full belly eating the insects you want gone… winning situation for both)

Did you know that if you plant onions near carrots, it makes the carrots sweeter ?

Marigold (flower) benefits most vegetable crops including tomatoes, onions and beans, it enhances their flavors and repels bean beetles, aphids, potato bugs, squash bugs, nematodes, and maggots.
