Companion Planting: High School For Veggies

Keeping up with who gets along with who in the garden tends to remind me of high school for all the wrong reasons. Cracks me up... Here's how to keep your veggies from mauling one another in the halls.

• Beans get along with most veggies, but beans and onions do not get along.
• Broccoli and cabbage love beets, chard, celery and spinach. Onions are happy here, too.
• Carrots do well with peas, tomatoes and lettuce, but keep dill at the other end of the garden.
• Cucumbers like to be near beans, peas and radishes, but far from potatoes.
• Tomatoes will thrive near cucumbers, carrots and onions.

So, may you plant your veggies at the right lunch table and avoid the drama all together.
