What can be grown in a greenhouse with tomatoes?

Our beloved 6 acres - how to place on them everything that you so want to grow on your land? Saving every piece of land, our gardeners and gardeners work tirelessly.

Two full-fledged greenhouses on such a site cannot fit. How to choose, under what culture to allocate greenhouse land? Probably everyone would answer in unison: for tomatoes!

That's right, in our temperate climate, they ripen on bushes only in a greenhouse. But you can add neighbors to them... What is planted in a greenhouse with tomatoes?

…

Who is the tomato good with?

A vegetable is like a person. In good company and he feels good. But how to determine what is suitable for a tomato in a closed limited area. What can be planted and grown in a greenhouse with tomatoes?

He - pretty moody culture and is not easy to clean. In the greenhouse, he will always be the owner... Therefore, cultures for the neighborhood with him should be selected similar in terms of growing conditions.

Cucumbers

Consider two of the most popular greenhouse crops - tomatoes and cucumbers. They don't belong in one greenhouse, only as a last resort and under certain conditions. The difference is in the conditions they need:

Culture	Watering	Airing	Fertilizer	Temperature
Tomato	watering only at the root	Yes	necessarily	moderate
Cucumbers	watering and sprinkling	No	not required, except organic	thermophilic

If possible, it is better to take cucumbers outdoors on a manured bed under a film, they will perfectly take root there and give a crop. Tomatoes are best left in the greenhouse..

Peppers

Another greenhouse crop, especially in Siberia and the northern regions, is sweet pepper. They are with tomato belong to the same species - nightshade. Greenhouse compatible, since the conditions of their cultivation are similar.

But there is one in their living together the problem is the microclimate in the greenhouse... Tomatoes love warm, but dry air, which means that the temperature for them should be high, but at the same time with good air movement. And pepper, on the contrary, loves warmth and moisture to match the cucumbers.

Some gardeners still grow peppers in the same garden with tomatoes.

At the same time, a "chess" scheme is practiced, which provides sufficient access to light for both cultures.

Peppers benefit from the presence of tomatoes in the neighborhood... The substances contained in them scare away aphids, which are very fond of peppers.
 

Cabbage and salads

They get along well with early varieties of white cabbage, Peking cabbage, which in general used for compacting tomatoesplanting it at their feet. Wonderful tomato will get along with leafy salads.

Radish, onion and garlic

This neighborhood will benefit all cultures.... Onions with tomatoes are planted only those that are grown for greens. With such a neighborhood you need to provide enough light radishes, onions and garlic.

Garlic - a tomato's helper in the fight against late blight... Its curling arrows need to be collected and made from them an infusion for spraying tomatoes for preventive purposes.

Strawberry

Strawberries (strawberries) coexist well with tomatoes in the same room (greenhouse). Both crops do not like high humidity, they requires constant ventilation in order to avoid infection with fungal diseases. Besides, the draft contributes to the pollination of both crops.

Strawberry bushes alternate with planting tomatoes according to the scheme 60 x 45 cm... Wherein strawberry feeding area should be at least 30 x 15 cm on the bush.

The best crops to grow together with tomatoes

From what is best to plant in a greenhouse along with tomatoes (tomatoes), you can make a small list:

• legumes (beans, beans);
• watermelons;
• radish;
• Melissa;
• celery;
• parsley;
• basil.

Melissa and Basil Improve Tomato Flavor... The main thing is to observe the light regime for the neighbors. For this, tomato bushes must be tied up.

Incompatible cultures

• Dill;
• kohlrabi;
• fennel.

Vegetables correctly selected for joint cultivation will not only not harm each other, but also will help to increase yields up to 20-25%.

Each vegetable has its own "apartment"

For those who are still trying to grow poorly compatible vegetables in the same greenhouse, there is a way out. This is organization of space... What can you plant tomatoes with in a greenhouse? The most "greenhouse" plants are tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and eggplants. Their compatibility is poor, so they should be separate from each other.

If the greenhouse has two entrances from opposite sides, it is easier to place cultures in it. With sufficient width, three beds are made. Tomatoes are planted on the middle - this part of the greenhouse is best ventilated. Peppers are placed on the north side, cucumbers or eggplants on the south side. Although it is better to exclude cucumbers.

If there is only one door in the greenhouse, and on the opposite side there is only a window, cultures can be arranged in the following order: tomatoes are planted near the doors, they must be separated from the rest of the area either with a film, or with slate or plywood. The best material is film.

Next, cucumbers are planted, followed by eggplants - both vegetables are very thermophilic and they will be fine in the middle. And last but not least, peppers are planted by the window, they prefer a cooler atmosphere.

Placing not very compatible crops in the same greenhouse you need to be prepared for a slight decrease in yield each of the cultures.

Today, greenhouse manufacturers offer various designs, in particular, indoor ones. With the help of partitions-modules, you can create separate rooms with the desired microclimate in them, which will allow you to combine the "incompatible" in one greenhouse and not think about what to plant tomatoes with.

For more information on what you can plant tomatoes in a greenhouse with and how to equip a greenhouse in order to make the most of the space, and grow incompatible vegetables in it, you can watch the video:

Let's figure out how to properly use all the greenhouse soil. To get a noble harvest, which will be ready for harvest earlier or will have time to ripen (applies to the northern regions), we plant vegetable crops in closed ground. Building a greenhouse takes a lot of effort, time and money, so I want to plant it as much as possible, and we often plant different crops close to each other. Vegetables that are improperly selected for joint growth can cause large losses in yield, so you need to know what to plant with in the greenhouse. Generally, such heat-loving vegetables as peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers are grown in greenhouses. If there is room left, I would like to add something else.Many cultures are able to coexist peacefully, but there are also representatives who, by their presence, will inhibit the growth and development of the main “settlers”. We propose to consider which joint plantings of vegetables in the greenhouse are permissible and which are not.

Why do you need protected ground landing?

Today, not a single summer cottage is complete without a greenhouse or greenhouse. Experienced gardeners argue that the harvest that is obtained from the greenhouse cannot be compared with that obtained from crops planted in the open field.

Many in greenhouses grow not only tomatoes and cucumbers, but also root crops, greens, ornamental flowering plants. Such plantings allow you to monitor soil moisture, regulate temperature for better crop growth. Many novice gardeners do not know that they can plant together in a greenhouse, and it so happens that their harvest is much poorer than that of a neighbor behind a fence who grows vegetables in ordinary beds. What's the matter? You just need to reasonably use the place of closed ground and not push everything that comes to hand into one area. We propose to figure out which vegetables can be planted in one greenhouse, and which are not recommended.

Cooking a greenhouse

Indoors, everything will grow ideally. In the spring, when the snow is still in places, it is already quite warm and good in the greenhouse, why will it stand idle if it is possible to get the first harvest of greenery in it? Moreover, many crops are ideal precursors for planting cucumbers and tomatoes. If you have plans to plant these particular vegetables, we suggest preparing the ground, and at the same time eating the very first vitamins of green crops from your own garden before anyone else!

So, before planting the main crops in the greenhouse, sprout lettuce, watercress, parsley, onions (per feather), dill, Beijing collard greenhouse, lettuce mustard in its soil. After harvesting, dig up the soil again, remove the remnants of the grown plants and you can start the main planting. The question of what can be planted in a greenhouse together is of interest to everyone, so you should think carefully before choosing vegetables.

For example, cucumbers with tomatoes will not grow very well together, since the crops need different temperatures. Eggplants generally do not like thickening and the proximity of other crops. But it is still possible to grow all these vegetables together, you just have to choose the right varieties and act. By following our recommendations, you will be able to achieve a high yield, even if your greenhouse is planted with different vegetables. What crops can be planted together? We suggest starting the selection of neighbors for tomatoes.

What can you plant tomatoes with in a greenhouse?

These vegetables love to grow in light, fertile soils that are saturated with calcium. It is necessary to produce stable fertilizing with calcium nitrate to increase yields. If the soil in the greenhouse is fertilized with organic matter, then additional fertilizing will not be useful, on the contrary, it can become detrimental to the crop. "Overfed" tomatoes will gain green mass, but they will give few fruits, and they will be small. Tomatoes need ventilation, moderate air temperature, abundant watering, which are done directly under the root. And with what can you plant tomatoes in a greenhouse? What cultures will they take root with?

You can plant an early variety of white cabbage nearby. The Express, the Ultra-early Miracle, the Nakhodka will do. "At the feet" of the ridge, head and leafy salads will grow well. Sugar giant radishes, parsley and onions are also good neighbors. Unfortunately, tomatoes cannot create a good union with fennel and dill, so give up such a neighborhood.

Many gardeners make a gross mistake by creating joint plantings of cucumbers and tomatoes in a greenhouse.If you do not have a separate space for cucumbers, then do not plant crops on one bed, plant on different ones, and, which will be ideal, separate the plantings from each other with a bed of pepper. Planting tomatoes and hot peppers in the same greenhouse is unacceptable only if you are not a gourmet and you are not embarrassed by the bitter-sharp taste of tomatoes, the bush of which can get dusty with a burning neighbor.

Before looking for neighbors for cucumbers, we suggest that you find out when you can plant cucumbers in a greenhouse with seeds.

Cucumber planting rules

When to plant seeds depends on the region where the crop is grown and the greenhouse. If there is no artificial lighting and heating in it, then residents of the central and northern parts of Russia can start planting in mid and late May, when the outside air temperature reaches +15 degrees. If you live in the southern part, then you can plant cucumber seeds in a greenhouse in April. The same period is relevant for greenhouses with heating and lighting.

Seeds must be prepared two days before planting. To do this, place them in the refrigerator or any other cool place for 24 hours. After the time has elapsed, prepare gauze bags, place one seed in each, put in water for 12 hours. After that, take out, leave the seed bags at room temperature, by the next day small sprouts will appear. If some seeds have not hatched, this will mean that they are empty and you can throw them away.

What can you plant cucumbers with in a greenhouse?

Planting seeds should be done in a one-line or two-line method. At the same time, there should be trellises on the garden bed, to which it is necessary to tie up plants for their good fruiting. Cucumbers need abundant watering, if the culture lacks moisture, then the fruits may have a bitter taste. In addition, organic and mineral fertilizing needs to be produced consistently. Cucumbers respond well to solutions of potassium sulfate, bird droppings and superphosphate. What can you plant cucumbers with in a greenhouse?

If the cucumbers grow not just tied up, but there is a trellis, then they will not damage with their antennae nearby crops, which they can catch on to. If there is enough space between the bushes, then you can plant white cabbage. Also excellent neighbors will be dill, parsley, fennel, basil, cabbage and leafy salads, Siberian early maturing eggplant and the Dream of a mushroom picker, radish. Peppers and cucumbers can be planted together in a greenhouse, but the neighborhood of tomatoes is undesirable and possible only if the ridge with them is fenced with another crop. Corn grows well next to cucumbers, they can coexist both in different and in the same garden. The only thing that may need additional processing of plants for fruit set.

Planting pepper

Sweet peppers are grown by many gardeners. It is ideal for fresh consumption, endowed with a pleasant taste and aroma, contains many vitamins, perfectly complements a salad of fresh vegetables. Also, pepper is used for preparations for the winter, there is nothing better than opening a fragrant jar with lecho, made from peppers grown on our own plot, on a frosty day.

This crop can be planted in a checkerboard pattern, it is quite calm about the thickening of the planting and shade, so feel free to plant seven plants per square meter. The denser the planting, the richer the harvest! Mineral and organic fertilizing is needed, stable ventilation of the greenhouse, good watering. So, what can you plant peppers with in a greenhouse?

Peppers go well with eggplants, since both crops are nightshade. But too close the location of plants from each other can be the reason for a decrease in the yield of both. We said that you can plant in a greenhouse with tomatoes and peppers, they grow well side by side.If you have a desire to place eggplants in the greenhouse, arrange the beds in this order: eggplants - tomatoes - peppers. Onions, lovage and basil will also not harm the peppers and will thrive themselves. Joint planting of cucumbers in a greenhouse with peppers can be done quite calmly, these cultures are friendly.

Eggplant

Many vegetable growers grow eggplants. The best option for planting a crop is in a greenhouse. In protected ground, the plant will develop faster, more ovaries will appear, respectively, and fruits. Growing in a greenhouse, eggplants will yield a greater yield than when grown in an open area. The plant loves moisture, sunshine, high-quality feeding. Fertilizers should be alternated. At the first stages of development, organic matter is needed, at the stage of fruit ovary, mineral fertilizers, more calcium and potassium are needed. Do not plant the plants too densely, the yield will decrease significantly due to lack of sun, eggplants do not like crowding.

With what can you plant eggplants in a greenhouse if they are so capricious? Of course, co-cultivation is difficult, but still possible. We already wrote that the culture gets along well with peppers and tomatoes. If the peppers should be a little further away, fenced off by another ridge, then the tomatoes should also be planted according to plan. First, there should be space between the eggplant and tomato beds to allow as much extra light as possible. Secondly, when planting tomatoes next to eggplants, choose a low-growing variety. If the tomatoes are tall, they will shade the eggplants, and they will grow small, and the bushes will be weak.

Onions will grow well next to eggplants and will not harm their capricious neighbor. You can also plant a melon, it will also grow well in a greenhouse, it will not shade the eggplants, and will not interfere with their growth.

We suggest continuing the review of what you can plant with in the greenhouse. Let's move on to greens, which they love to grow indoors. The thing is that in this way you can have fresh, young salad, dill, onions (feathers) on the table all season long, because with proper planting, you can collect several crops per year.

Salad

This crop needs soil saturated with organic fertilizers. It is recommended to plant in rows, the distance between which will be on average twenty centimeters, this is necessary for the correct formation of the bushes. If you plant seeds every two weeks, then the yield will be stable and you will be able to have fresh lettuce until the end of the season. The culture is very fond of good moisture, loose soil, stable fertilization. What can be planted in the same greenhouse with a salad?

If you have plans to have a greenhouse in which only greens will grow, you can plant dill, parsley, basil, onions and on feathers, cabbage and leafy salads - all this is in perfect harmony with each other. The only thing is that the onions need to be planted on a separate bed if you need to get onions, because a lot of space is needed to form the heads.

Cabbage, both leafy and cabbage, will grow well with the salad. The salad can be planted between bushes of cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers. Eggplant will also be convenient to coexist with salad. By planting these crops together, you will get rid of unnecessary hassle. That is, fertilizing and watering tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and eggplants, you will immediately carry out the necessary procedures for the salad. All these crops love moisture, loose soil, top dressing.

Unwanted co-cultivation

We wrote that it is possible to combine tomatoes and cucumbers in one greenhouse, but subject to certain rules. We have already told you what to plant with what in a greenhouse, and which crops cannot be combined, but what to do if you have greenhouses worth its weight in gold, and you want to plant both cucumbers and tomatoes? Growing them together is not recommended, but you can still try. Take advantage of further tips and you will not lose your harvest.

The first thing every vegetable grower should remember is that cucumbers, unlike tomatoes, do not like airing, they are too susceptible to infections, these gentle creatures love warmth, no drafts, and if you do not follow the rules, there will be a lot of barren flowers, foliage will begin to turn yellow.

Cucumbers require greenhouse conditions for high-quality growth, a lot of water. And tomatoes can't stand that. They need fresh air, too moist soil can cause rot in the roots, fungal diseases, which not only adversely affect the harvest, but can completely ruin the plants. Of course, planting in separate beds is permissible, but what to do with airing?

You can plant tomatoes closer to the exit, and place cucumbers in the distant beds. If they are planted at the end, then it will be possible to make a fence, this will require a film. Attach it to the ceiling to create a curtain, take a wooden stick and attach it to the bottom of the film, wrapping and fixing. Now you can lift this curtain to go to the cucumbers and carry out all the necessary procedures, and they will be fenced from tomatoes, and when ventilating the draft, the fence will not lift, since it is weighted with a stick. Cucumbers will grow quietly in their "greenhouse", without interfering with the tomatoes, without sharing their warmth and moisture with them, and you use the entire greenhouse space, plant all the necessary crops, and the yield will be high, since all conditions have been created for tomatoes and cucumbers. good growth.

Hot peppers are by no means planted in the same greenhouse with other crops. You can not make a joint planting, even with sweet peppers. With over-pollination, which will surely occur, the taste of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers will be sharp, there may even be a burning sensation characteristic of hot peppers. Thus, you will simply spoil the taste of the entire greenhouse crop. For such a "hot" plant, create a small greenhouse in which it will be away from other crops.

It is worth remembering that planting asparagus beans next to them will help increase the productivity of tomatoes, but peas are completely contraindicated for them. Cucumbers will not be able to coexist with sage, it oppresses the plant and causes low yield. Now we propose to move on to considering the question of what to do if you want to grow root crops or melons.

A little more about joint landings

As mentioned earlier, so that the greenhouse does not stand idle in the spring, you can plant various greens in it, and after harvesting it, plant the main crops. We offer you another option. In April, early ripening beet varieties can be planted in the greenhouse. When the time comes to plant tomatoes, the roots will already grow well, place the seedlings calmly between them. Together, these cultures will grow excellently, will not interfere with each other. When the tomato seedlings have grown to such an extent that they shade the beets, the roots can be harvested and ready to be harvested. Thus, you can get early beets, and the greenhouse area will be used as much as possible. After harvesting root crops, you can again "refine" the vacated areas by planting lettuce, dill and parsley, and you will again win.

Watermelons and melons will grow well in the greenhouse together with tomatoes. Melons can be planted and mixed with tomatoes, and on a separate bed. The second option is more acceptable, since melons and watermelons are not very fond of drafts, but they also do not need the greenhouse effect, like cucumbers. Plant a crop simply on a remote garden bed or along the walls of the greenhouse behind bushes of tomatoes, watermelons and melons love a lot of sunlight. Planting melons for tomatoes is useful in that they attract more bees for pollination with their smell, insects, arriving at a sweet aroma, will also take care of tomatoes.Watermelons ripen no faster than many varieties of tomatoes, harvesting is done on average ninety days after planting the seedlings. Thus, the greenhouse will be fully operational throughout the entire season.

We learned what to plant with in the greenhouse and what combinations to avoid. But for the quality of the crop, it is necessary to properly prepare the closed ground, it depends on how well all the crops planted in the greenhouse will grow.

Preparing the greenhouse for the season

Vegetables planted indoors, unlike those that grow outdoors, practically do not receive nutrients from the external environment, so it is worth taking care of the condition and maintenance of the soil in advance. In addition to regular feeding, cultivated plants need high-quality soil that will meet all the requirements - it is good air permeability, absorbency, light composition.

If the plot is stably used for the installation of a greenhouse, then the soil is already depleted and cannot provide all the nutrients to the plants. The best option is to completely change the soil by removing the old one from the greenhouse and placing a new one. If this is not possible, then enrichment measures can be taken, for this, apply as much organic matter and mineral fertilizers as possible two weeks before planting the plants.

In addition to fertilizers, the soil needs to be disinfected, because pathogenic bacteria and spores of fungal diseases could remain in it from last year's crops.

If the greenhouse is being built on the site for the first time, it is worthwhile to correctly divide the zone into beds. Any length is possible, but the width should not be more than 90 centimeters. They can be elevated (35-40 centimeters above the ground) or flush with the ground. The soil should be mixed with peat, manure, a complex of minerals.

Having learned how to use every centimeter of greenhouse soil correctly, you will increase the yield and save the territory of the site.

What to plant next to tomatoes is not an idle question. The volume and quality of the future harvest sometimes directly depends on neighbors in the garden. If you choose the right options for garden crops for joint plantings, the plants will grow healthier and stronger - it's checked!

Even if your goal is not to save space on the site (in the greenhouse) and your own efforts to process the beds, you should think carefully about the selection of neighboring crops. Firstly, so that they do not exchange the same diseases and pests, and secondly, so that they do not oppress each other. At best, well-chosen companions will even help neighboring plants, creating a kind of symbiosis on the garden bed.

• Mixed plantings: choosing the best plant neighbors

  We figure out with which plants common garden crops get along best.

What can be planted with tomatoes in the open field

So, what to plant next to tomatoes in the same garden? For example, legumes (peas, beans or beans), which will enrich the soil and improve its structure. In general, this applies to the neighborhood of tomatoes with almost any green manure - mustard (and she will also help from late blight and scab), phacelia, cereals.

• The best green manure for the garden: how to sow and when to plant in the soil

  Find out what green manures need to be planted on the site to improve the health of the soil and significantly increase the yield.

Tomatoes go well with green ones - all types salads, parsley, celery, onions, spinach, asparagus, sorrel... But with umbrella (dill, fennel) and lemon balm, it is better to avoid the neighborhood of tomatoes.

And it's also nice to surround the tomatoes with spicy herbs: plant thyme, sage, mint, basil, thyme... By the way, the usual stinging nettle and cucumber herb (borago) scare away soil pests, extend the shelf life of fruits and even improve the quality of tomato juice! In general, almost any herbs and green crops help tomatoes to suffer less from harmful insects.

Can I plant cabbage next to tomatoes? Yes, provided that it is heady and early (for example, varieties Nakhodka, Express, Chudo ultra early). Cabbage seedlings are planted in the garden in spring, with a distance between rows of at least 1.5 m. And when it finally gets warmer, you can place tomato seedlings between plantings, which will feel great.

By the way, with such a neighborhood you will delight not only tomatoes, but also the cabbage itself - neighbors with nightshades do not like cabbage butterflies, which means that your harvest will remain intact.

Such landings can also be "diluted"onions and garlic, which will not only perfectly fit into the company of cabbage and tomatoes, but will also emit phytoncides, protecting all neighbors from phytophthora.

Suitable for the neighborhood with tomatoes and "impostor", she cabbage, which is actually one of the subspecies of turnips. Beijing will feel great as a planting sealant "in the legs" of tomatoes.

But cauliflower, broccoli and kohlrabi are not the best neighbors for tomatoes.

Plant marigolds in a garden with tomatoes (or even around the perimeter of the entire garden), they perfectly repel insect pests.

Root crops - carrots, radishes and beets - also get along well with tomatoes, even in the same garden.

Melons are also good "partners" for tomatoes - melons and watermelons, if, of course, your site allows you to grow such light and heat-loving curiosities. For our latitudes, tomatoes are more likely to be adjacent to another representative of this group - with pumpkinwith whom they also have an excellent relationship.

An interesting idea would be the combined planting of tomatoes and early strawberries - and save space, and get two crops from one garden (both berries and vegetables). Just make sure that the selected tomato variety is not too tall and does not take away all the sunlight from the strawberries.

You need to understand that tomatoes can not only benefit from neighboring plants, but they themselves can be excellent partners. For example, when planting tomatoes next to berry bushes (currants, gooseberries) they will drive away the moth and the sawfly from the latter.

And if you plant tomatoes near bird cherry, then it will scare away the scoop from nightshades.

Today there are many varieties and varieties of all the above crops. Consider their characteristics (ripening time, plant growth and size) so that they "like the tomato" as the main crop.

The most unfortunate neighbors for tomatoes are potatoes and corn. At a minimum, they are all very demanding on nutrients in the soil, which means they will simply be strong food competitors. Secondly, they either have in the "history" the same diseases (late blight), or suffer from the invasion of the same pests (Colorado potato beetle, cotton scoop, wireworm), which they can "exchange".

What to plant next to tomatoes in a greenhouse

To grow tomatoes in a closed room with its own microclimate, and even with neighbors, you need to clearly remember the requirements of the main culture. Tomatoes prefer good lighting (however, cloudy weather is not critical for them), moderate air temperature, frequent airing, regular fertilizing and watering at the root. When choosing neighbors in the greenhouse, you need to focus on plants with similar requirements. When deciding what else can be planted in the greenhouse along with tomatoes, you also need to take into account the size of the room, the material of the roof and walls, the presence of additional doors and vents.

• Growing tomatoes in a greenhouse - the secrets of a bountiful harvest

  Do you want to harvest a rich harvest of delicious fruits? These rules of agricultural technology will help you with this!

So, with what you can plant tomatoes in a greenhouse. According to the above example with the open field option, in the greenhouse, for a start, in the same way, before planting tomatoes, you can sow early and fast-growing crops thickly - onion and garlic on the pen, salads, radishes, collard greens... When the time comes for tomato seedlings - just make room for them among these crops and you will be able to harvest the "pioneers" for at least a month while the tomatoes are just developing.

What else? Almost all the same crops that we described above, if you prefer growing them in a greenhouse - melons, legumes, greens, cabbage, strawberries, herbs... The main thing is not to forget to tie up tall and voluminous tomato bushes so that they do not obscure their smaller brothers in the greenhouse from the sun.

• Joint planting in a greenhouse, or What vegetables can be planted nearby

  We select suitable neighbors for vegetables grown in greenhouses, greenhouses, tunnels.

Let's take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions about possible neighbors of tomatoes in a greenhouse.

Is it possible to plant tomatoes and cucumbers nearby

Cucumbers and tomatoes in the greenhouse, in principle, do not interfere with each other. The main problem may be their different requirements for the microclimate. Judge for yourself.

Tomatoes:

• prefer moderate temperatures and dry air,
• require regular ventilation of the greenhouse,
• very demanding on fertilization,
• love watering at the root.

Cucumbers:

• prefer high temperature and high humidity,
• do not tolerate drafts,
• may well do without other abundant dressings, provided that organic matter is introduced in a timely manner,
• love plentiful watering and sprinkling.

• How to care for cucumbers in a greenhouse and greenhouse

  Features of caring for cucumbers that are grown in greenhouses.

Therefore, if possible, it is better to settle these crops in different greenhouses or to take out the cucumbers in open ground under a film.

Is it possible to plant peppers next to tomatoes

Tomatoes and peppers have quite similar requirements for humidity and temperature conditions in the greenhouse. In addition, peppers, like tomatoes, need a garter. So a common trellis is quite suitable for them - pull the wire at a height of about 2 m.

Tomatoes will also help scare off aphids, which love peppers.

• Features of growing sweet peppers in a greenhouse

  Do you have to buy bell peppers and pay exorbitant prices for it? Enough tolerating this! Grow paprika yourself in the greenhouse.

However, peppers with tomatoes belong to the same family (Solanaceae), which means the presence of the same diseases and pests that will perfectly wander from one culture to another. If you are able to provide good protection from insects and infections to both, feel free to plant these plants together (checkerboard pattern is recommended). The presence of marigolds around the perimeter of the structure will also help.

Remember only that both cultures love light, so do not thicken the plantings, and also carry out the garter of the plants in time and competently.

Can eggplants be planted next to tomatoes

The main problem of joint cultivation of tomatoes and eggplants in a greenhouse is the same as in the previous case - common diseases and pests of the same family.

Their microclimate requirements are not particularly similar:

• eggplant needs much more light for full development,
• eggplant is a more thermophilic culture than tomato,
• eggplant likes much more humid air than tomatoes,
• eggplant needs more moisture when watering.

• How to grow eggplants in a greenhouse?

  A capricious eggplant does not want to produce a full crop in a greenhouse? We will show you what he is missing and how to help solve the problem.

Therefore, if possible, avoid simultaneously growing these crops in the greenhouse.

If this is not possible (this also applies to the case of cucumbers and peppers), and you are determined to grow both plants this season, try to optimize their place of residence, somehow delimit the greenhouse territory into areas with different microclimates. This can be done using self-made (plywood, plastic film, non-woven fabric) or industrially (special modules) partitions. It is also good to divide crops into separate beds - heat-loving crops are planted away from the entrance and drafts, and tomatoes are placed closer to the greenhouse doors.

In any case, having not very compatible crops in the same greenhouse, be prepared for a slight decrease in the yield of each of them.

Well, and, of course, if you are expecting a bountiful harvest, growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, you should remember not only about their neighbors, but also about the rules for caring for them and competent agricultural technology.

In any case, each plot or greenhouse has its own size, soil, microclimate ... Even if you follow the above recommendations, keep in mind that they are quite general. Only your personal experience and observation of your own plants will help you choose the right growing method.

Information about what can be planted with tomatoes will be incomplete without knowing what should not be planted with them in any case. Find the best way to combine plants in your garden and enjoy a great harvest!

The plot is large, each culture can be allocated a separate spacious bed. The harvest turned out to be good, you were happy until you came to the dacha to see your friends. On a tiny patch, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, peppers grow interspersed, and the harvest is such that the owners even sell the surplus. You decide to plant in the same way. Stop and think! If you bury everything haphazardly in the garden, nothing good will come of it. Find the best way to match your plants.

Benefits of a tight fit

Even if you do not need to save space, joint plantings are desirable on the site. If you choose the right crops, symbiosis will arise when plants of different species help each other. Please note that some species cannot coexist, even if they have different diseases and pests. If planted without considering compatibility, crops will oppress each other and there will be no good harvest.

When growing vegetables in a greenhouse, you need to take into account their requirements for temperature and humidity. Cucumbers and tomatoes could get along with each other, but they have different temperature and humidity requirements. If there is only one insulated room, you can divide the cultures with film or non-woven material. With good protection from pests and infections, it is better to grow peppers in this greenhouse, it loves the same conditions as tomatoes. Plant an unpretentious onion next to the bushes, it does not need to create special conditions. If you want, you can plant early collard greens, it will ripen quickly and will not interfere with other crops.

There are plant species that have a positive effect on their neighbors. Often, such herbs have a good effect on human health, they are used in folk medicine. Everyone knows the healing properties of valerian, yarrow, chamomile - they will also support tomato seedlings. Just do not let the earth overgrow with weeds, leave a few bushes around the edges, this will be enough.

Advice

If you plant several crops in the same garden, for example tomatoes or onions along with strawberries or cabbage, the area that needs to be processed will be half the size, which means that maintenance will become easier.

You can sow green manures near tomatoes, they enrich the soil, improve its structure. Mustard or phacelia will protect young seedlings from strong winds or scorching sun. Just make sure that the helper plants do not grow too tall and drown out the main crop.The roots of lettuce and spinach add nutrients to the soil. The smell of marigolds will scare away pests - make a decorative border of these flowers around the garden. Plant tomatoes next to strawberries in the greenhouse for early berries in spring and juicy tomatoes in summer. You can also plant peppers there, but be careful not to spread the infection.

What and with what can be planted on the same bed

Everyone has heard about compacted planting, about growing 3 crops per season on one bed. Let's figure out what and with what can be planted. Some crops do not like unpleasant neighborhoods, but if you remove them before planting tomatoes, you can use this method. For example, if you want to dig up the dill before setting the tomato fruit, you can plant a spicy crop between the planned rows of tomatoes. First, try to condense the usual plants: tomatoes, onions, cucumbers.

Please note right away that tomatoes are not liked if the following crops grow nearby:

• broccoli or cauliflower;
• pepper, eggplant (they have the same pests);
• fennel;
• dill (if you do not plan to remove it for early greens);
• corn and other tall crops on the south side, where they will shade the garden bed.

What to plant near tomatoes? If you are good at dealing with pests such as the cotton budworm, you can plant the corn from the north side of the tomato bed. You can arrange a tomato plantation next to the potatoes if you are sure that you will be able to protect the plantings from late blight and the Colorado potato beetle. Some crops are even recommended to be planted with tomatoes. Asparagus emits volatile substances that act badly on nematodes - the enemies of tomatoes. Onions release phytoncides from various infections, it is useful in any area: both where cucumbers grow, and on berry plantations.

You can sow basil on a tomato bed. It helps the main crop to protect itself from pests. Try a tomato grown next to this spicy herb. Both the size and taste of the fruit will be significantly better than that of greenhouse vegetables.

Advice

If you plant onions and garlic between the rows, late blight and spider mites will not attack your plants.

Also, tomatoes will get along well with the following plants:

• beans;
• celery;
• strawberries;
• cabbage;
• radish;
• sorrel;
• parsley;
• carrots.

Plant tomato bushes near the bird cherry and the tomatoes will be protected from the scoop. If nettle thickets dominate on the site, the vegetable crop will grow well in such a neighborhood. You can plant seedlings among spicy or floral crops: calendula, mint, sage. Peppers can also be grown among these herbs, such an environment will benefit him.

What plants will tomatoes help

Tomatoes contain saponin, which works well for nearby crops. A tomato bush planted next to a gooseberry or currant will drive away the moth and sawfly from berry crops. You can plant tomatoes along with cabbage, and cabbage butterflies will fly around the side of the garden. Remember that this neighborhood is only good for head species, broccoli and cauliflower should grow elsewhere.

There is information that ants do not like the smell of tomatoes. The responses to this information are contradictory: some gardeners expelled insects from the site with the help of tomato tops, while others had an anthill located right on a tomato garden. Check if you are lucky, and bushes growing with strawberries will protect the berry from underground pests.

Advice

When planning combined plantings, remember that umbrella crops - dill, fennel - are individualists, they cannot be used to compact plantings. The exception is carrots, they have no harmful effect on tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables.

How to arrange plants in the garden

Let tomatoes be the main crop in the garden, and use early-ripening vegetables for compaction.How to get the maximum yield? In the fall, plant winter garlic with a row spacing of 15 cm. As soon as the soil thaws, plant the onion on the feather, and next to it the radish. In mid-May, the greens are removed, and tomato seedlings are placed in the vacant space.

In the spring, you can plant a bed of early cabbage. Make the distance to honey in rows about one and a half meters. When warm days come, place tomato seedlings between plantings. Plant onions or garlic between tomatoes, these plants release phytoncides and protect plantings from phytophthora. Borago growing nearby activates the development of tomatoes, improves the taste of fruits, and at the same time drives away tomato worms.

In the greenhouse in early spring, thickly sow radishes, salads, and onions on a feather. When it's time to plant the seedlings, make room for the holes and eat the vegetables. For about another month you will be able to harvest in the aisles, and when the tomatoes grow, other crops will be harvested and will not interfere with their development. Peppers can also be grown this way.

Your experience and intuition

On the forums of gardeners, you can often find the most controversial statements. The first vegetable grower has been growing cucumbers with tomatoes in one greenhouse for many years and is very pleased with the results; in the second, with such a combination, neither one nor the other crop wants to bear fruit. It is impossible to plant nightshade crops nearby, but some summer residents grow tomatoes and eggplants with potatoes - and have no idea about late blight or Colorado potato beetle.

In any sources, you will find only general recommendations, but each site has its own microclimate, excess or deficiency of any components in the soil. Only your personal experience will help you choose the right growing method. Learn to understand your green pets, observe in what conditions they develop well, and when they wither. If cucumbers and tomatoes grow well in the same greenhouse, you can plant them there all the time.

Advice

If you decide to grow several crops on the same bed, do not sow the entire area at once. In the first year, plant a few rows and see how the plants get along with each other. If you like the result, grow it that way next season.

Breeders have developed many varieties and hybrids of various plants. Perhaps not every variety will appeal to the mainstream culture. If low tomatoes get along well next to strawberries, you remove both berries and tomatoes from one garden bed, then tall bushes can shade the berry - the yield will decrease. Much depends on the size and height of the plants, the timing of ripening. Even different varieties of the same species sometimes cannot be placed close to each other. When sweet and bitter peppers grow close, the taste of the fruit deteriorates. Some gardeners grow zucchini, pumpkin on a tomato bed and harvest a good harvest, although such a neighborhood is not recommended. It is impossible to take into account every little thing, try and observe.

Conclusion

If you arrange the plantings correctly, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables will grow well in the same garden with other crops, get sick less and give good yields. A bed with strawberries bears fruit in early summer, then the berry just lays and develops buds for flowering the next year. Tomatoes growing between the bushes will help you save space and get both vegetables and berries in a small area.

When planting, the compatibility of the plants must be taken into account. Some crops can oppress others, they cannot be grown together. Cucumbers and tomatoes do not interfere with each other, only they have different microclimate requirements. Tomatoes would get along next to eggplants and potatoes, if not for diseases and pests that are the same for all nightshades. Pepper can also be a source of infection. You can plant marigolds or other plants around the perimeter that ward off pests and infection, then the plantings will be protected.

Each gardener has his own secrets of growing vegetables.Feel free to experiment and find the best combinations for your conditions. What if you manage to grow cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peppers and zucchini together in the garden. Such a plantation will not only provide the family with vegetables, but will also look attractive, especially if it is planted around the edges with strawberries or ornamental cabbage. Try it, gain experience and share your discoveries with neighbors and friends.
