What not to plant next to zucchini: the vegetable will grow poorly and deteriorate

Right now, the active season for planting zucchini is underway. This crop is quite easy to care for. But it is very important to plant zucchini next to the right vegetables so that they do not interfere with each other's growth.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what vegetables you shouldn't plant next to zucchini. If you follow these recommendations, you will get high-quality fresh fruits that can be actively used to prepare a variety of dishes.

Cucumbers

Zucchini and cucumbers are vegetables from the same family. Therefore, they need the same amount of nutrients from the soil. Also, space. As a result, competition can occur and there is a risk that the fruits will exchange diseases.

Pumpkin

The situation is quite similar to cucumbers. Pumpkins grow in the same way as zucchini. Crops will begin to interact and negatively affect each other.

Potatoes

A potato is a fruit that needs a lot of nutrients. And zucchini will prevent this. And you shouldn't expect a quality harvest from either of these vegetables.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a rather specific crop that requires special care: tying up, mulching. And all this can shade the zucchini, which grows low. Also, there is a risk of transmitting various diseases and insects.
