"There can be real discordance in the vegetable garden. Placing plants side-to-side that vie with one another, for example, does not do much good for any of them. But there is wonderful community that can happen between plants as well – and it's a great way to strategize when plotting out a garden plot.

Welcome to companion planting."

#SweetPotato Companions: Best #CompanionPlants For Sweet Potatoes

By Liz Baessler
last updated June 18, 2021

Excerpt: "So what are some of the best companion plants for sweet potatoes? As a rule of thumb, root vegetables, such as #parsnips and #beets, are good sweet potato companions. Bush beans are good sweet potato companions, and certain varieties of pole beans can be trained to grow along the ground intermingled with sweet potato vines. Regular potatoes, though not actually closely related at all, are also good sweet potato companions. Also, aromatic herbs, such as thyme, oregano and dill, are good sweet potato companions. Sweet potato weevil, a pest that can wreak havoc on crops in the Southern United States, can be deterred by planting summer savory nearby.

What You Shouldn’t be Planting Next to Sweet Potatoes

The biggest problem with planting next to sweet potatoes is their propensity to spread. Because of this, one plant to avoid, in particular, when planting next to sweet potatoes is squash. Both are strong growers and fierce spreaders, and putting the two next to each other will only result in a fight for space in which both will likely be weakened. Even in the case of companion plants for sweet potatoes, be aware that your sweet potato vine will grow to cover a very large area, and take care that it doesn’t crowd out its beneficial neighbors."

I really love that they planted #borage together with #calendula & #feverfew #plants 😍 So many pollinators were flying around this small area & feeding on the flowers.
There's sorrel growing closer to ground in the patch too.

When #nasturtiums go mad... all are self-seeded from two trial packets last year!

Earlier this year, I planted some spring onions between my strawberries to prevent them from getting attacked by bugs.

Surprisingly it worked well and now that the strawberries starting to fade. The spring onions are growing faster and I have already harvested 2 grocery stores size plants from another pot and have some 20 more growing.

Lost lot of of them in the aphids infestation that I didn't detect earlier, but I have more than enough for my personal use and enjoy having fresh leaves of them with my stews and sandwiches.

Did you know, if you plant Fawa beans in between your tomatoes and leafy vegetables, you get beautiful flowers that attract pollinators, enrich your soil with Nitrogen captured from the air, create a barrier for pest between your plants and eventually getting some delicious Fawa beans as bonus? Not to mention that in hot climates, Fawa beans help cool off leafy vegetables preventing them from bolting and getting bitter.
