Question 1

Can You Grow Potatoes with Tomatoes?

Accepted Answer

Although these two rhyme, they don't make great partners together in the garden. Both tomatoes and potatoes are susceptible to the same diseases. Planting potatoes and tomatoes in the same bed increases the risk that your entire crop of both of these plants could be destroyed by a single disease.

Question 2

What Can I Mix With Tomato Plants?

Accepted Answer

Plants that grow well in similar conditions make great companions for tomatoes. This includes peppers, basil, and cucumbers. Additionally, plants like carrots, radishes, kohlrabi, onions, garlic, and bush beans benefit from being planted underneath the canopy of tomato plants where they will be shaded from the hot summer heat.

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.
