Question 1

What Should Not Be Planted With Strawberries?

Accepted Answer

If possible, do not plant tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, okra, melons, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, as well other nightshades and brassicas alongside strawberry plants. It is also important not to plant strawberries in a bed where these plants were recently grown to prevent the spread of incurable soil-borne fungal diseases like verticillium wilt.

Question 2

What Should I Plant Next to Strawberries?

Accepted Answer

Strawberries love to be planted next to borage, marigolds, onions, and herbs such as thyme, dill, chives, and sage.

Question 3

Do Tomatoes and Strawberries Grow Well Together?

Accepted Answer

If space allows, plant strawberries and tomatoes away from each other. Both plants share vulnerabilities to similar diseases which can easily spread from plant to plant. Tomatoes are also heavy feeders which will compete with strawberries for soil nutrients which may hinder strawberry production.

Question 4

What Herbs Grow Well With Strawberries?

Accepted Answer

Perennial herbs such as dill, chives, sage, thyme, oregano, and marjoram grow well with strawberries because they break dormancy alongside strawberries in the spring/summer and can deter many garden pests.
