What to plant with cucumbers in the greenhouse and in the open field?

Many people are engaged in the cultivation of cucumbers. Vegetables can be planted both in greenhouses and outdoors. It is important not only to select the optimal place for planting, but also to take into account the proximity of cucumbers with other crops. In today's article, we will find out what can be planted with cucumbers in the greenhouse and in the open field.

Ogurdynia is a hybrid that first appeared in Central Asia. The plant belongs to the pumpkin family. As it grows, the cucumber demonstrates the characteristic properties of an ordinary cucumber. The readiness to consume a culture is determined by a change in its color. The plant tastes more like a ripe melon. While this original vegetable is not yet ripe, it is often used to prepare delicious salads. A crop that has not yet had time to ripen to the end can be safely preserved for the winter in the form of fragrant pickles. The ripe fruit, characterized by unobtrusive sweetness, can be used as an unusual dessert. You can make jam from it.

Many summer residents are interested in how compatible an ordinary cucumber in a garden or greenhouse is with an unusual cucumber. This culture can be planted without unnecessary worries along with a green vegetable. This is how many gardeners manage their greenhouses. So, on one side you can place ordinary cucumber lashes, and on the other - bushes of the original cucumber.

When wondering if it is possible to plant cucumbers next to watermelons or melons, it is worth remembering that all these crops belong to the pumpkin family, so they can grow and develop next to each other. However, you need to be prepared for the fact that certain problems may arise. Most often, crops begin to suffer from insufficient amounts of received nutrients and trace elements. In addition, plantings can be attacked by the same pests. Diseases of crops can also develop at the same time. Due to pollination, the taste characteristics of fruits can undergo not the best changes, which is also important to take into account.

The neighborhood of cucumbers and watermelons in a greenhouse is undesirable. It is not forbidden to plant these popular crops together outdoors. Moreover, many gardeners then get a very rich and good harvest. But it is still recommended to select not neighboring beds for the plants in question, but other places on the site.

This question is most often asked by gardeners. The fact is that tomatoes, like cucumbers, are very popular vegetables that summer residents grow in the beds most often. In general, planting cucumbers next to tomatoes is quite possible. But, despite this, it is still better not to grow these crops in the same bed in the same soil or in the same greenhouse. The undesirability of such a neighborhood is due to the fact that the plants in question require different conditions for growth and development.

The neighborhood of tomatoes and cucumbers is not recommended, since tomatoes feel comfortable against the background of dry air and moderate temperature indicators. Cucumbers, on the other hand, need higher temperatures, while the air humidity should also be increased. Tomatoes need regular airing of the greenhouse, and cucumbers cannot stand cold drafts. Tomatoes cannot be left without high-quality and effective feeding compounds, but green vegetables do not need abundant feeding (organic matter alone is enough).

Based on completely different comfortable growing conditions, it will be simply impossible to keep both cucumbers and tomatoes in the same greenhouse. The summer resident will have to make a lot of efforts so that such different cultures do not begin to interfere with each other's growth. It is recommended to plant cucumbers and tomatoes in different greenhouses. If this method is impossible to implement, you need to leave a sufficient distance between these plants in the greenhouse.

Different gardeners have different attitudes towards the neighborhood of a green vegetable with onions or garlic. According to many summer residents, there will definitely not be any benefit from proximity to cucumbers of garlic. Moreover, it is believed that due to such a neighborhood, green fruits slow down their normal growth.

However, there are also a lot of gardeners who believe that garlic relieves cucumber lashes from dangerous angular leaf spot (bacteriosis), aphids, and a harmful bear. We can say that all the opinions reflected are correct. But to achieve the most favorable and positive result, you should not plant the garlic too close to the cucumbers. It is very important to maintain an optimal distance of at least half a meter.

Onions are another popular crop that makes good friends with cucumbers. A vegetable can be planted without fear in the neighborhood of a green plant. In this case, a small free distance should be left between the landings. The fact is that a month before harvesting the onion crop, a significant reduction in watering is required, which may cause problems with watering green plants. The two crops in question should be planted in adjacent beds, since it will be much easier and more convenient to care for them this way.

There are many other popular crops that gardeners most often planted in greenhouses or outdoors. Consider how cucumbers coexist with other popular plants.

Many summer residents ask the reasonable question of whether it is possible to plant cucumbers with pepper. It should be borne in mind that such a combination is not the simplest and most malleable. On the one hand, these plants need the same climatic conditions and do not tolerate drafts, but at the same time they are related, which is why they compete in nutrition, and they need different conditions for growth.

Both cucumbers and zucchini come from the same pumpkin family, so they need approximately the same conditions for keeping. However, care must be taken to ensure that the leafy plates of the zucchini do not overshadow the cucumber foliage. At the same time, all plants should have enough fertilizers and dressings. It should be borne in mind that the often considered option of the neighborhood ends with a meager harvest of both cucumbers and zucchini. In rare cases, the fruits are completely absent, since the natural process of pollination is disrupted. In addition, crops from the same family most often suffer from the same diseases and pests.

Cruciferous crops perfectly coexist with cucumbers, so they are allowed to be planted nearby, not only in an open soil layer, but also in greenhouse walls.Both types of plants need abundant watering, so it will be much easier to care for them together.

The corn crop easily coexists with cucumbers. Due to its close location, the indicators of the cucumber yield can increase significantly. The corn will act as a real support for the green lashes that can be tied to the stalks. In addition, the culture in question effectively protects cucumbers from both the wind and the too aggressive sun. Plant rhizomes do not compete in any way, but sometimes cucumbers may lack nitrogen.

Favorable neighbor for cucumbers. Moreover, even the carrot itself can be planted in the place where cucumbers grew 1-2 years ago.

Planting peas next to cucumbers is not just possible, but necessary. Green crops can also be safely planted next to beans and legumes. In such conditions, cucumbers show very good fruiting. It should be borne in mind that legumes actively saturate the soil mixture with nitrogen, so it is especially useful and effective to plant them around the entire perimeter of cucumber beds or in their middle.

The proximity of cucumbers and pumpkins is undesirable, although completely permissible. The fact is that very often both pumpkins and green vegetables get sick with a dangerous cucumber mosaic. This type of virus is malicious, almost impossible to treat. If the summer resident nevertheless decided to plant cucumbers and pumpkin together, then between them it will be necessary to leave a permissible distance of at least 5 meters.

Basil is a plant that is strongly discouraged from planting next to cucumbers. First of all, this applies to greenhouse conditions. Most often, the problems of such a neighborhood arise due to the struggle of crops for the necessary nutrients and sufficient lighting.

The neighborhood of cucumbers with parsley and other popular herbs is acceptable. Instead of parsley, it is allowed to plant several fresh dill bushes. These greens will have a positive effect on the fruiting rates of cucumbers, and will not harm them.

Every summer resident should know that potatoes are an undesirable neighbor for cucumbers, despite the fact that these plants are closely related. Both of these crops are susceptible to such serious diseases as late blight, which can drastically reduce yield indicators. In addition, during the treatment of potato plantings with chemicals, the latter may also appear on cucumbers. That is why it is strongly discouraged to plant these vegetables in the same garden.

These plants, like cucumbers, are thermophilic, but they need drier air. Eggplants are bad for unnecessary spraying, they do not like shading, therefore they are unlikely to be able to coexist in the same greenhouse with green vegetables. If you wish, the plants can be planted by making the largest possible indent from each other. It is allowed to make a small partition.

Planting cucumbers with strawberries is allowed. But on the beds where cucumbers were previously grown, it is strongly not recommended to plant berries.

Often considered popular vegetables are planted near handsome sunflowers. A dense stalk of grass culture can both hold and direct whips with greens of absolutely any size.
