14. Roses + Garlic
Garlic helps repel aphids and fungal diseases that roses are prone to, keeping your flower garden healthier.
15. Chard + Onions
Onions help deter aphids and other pests that love feeding on chard leaves, offering a mild form of natural pest control.
16. Melons + Marigolds
Marigolds repel beetles and nematodes, both of which can devastate melon plants if left unchecked.
17. Sunflowers + Cucumbers
Tall sunflowers provide shade and support for climbing cucumber vines, helping reduce sunburn on cucumbers.
18. Kale + Thyme
Thyme repels cabbage moths and flea beetles, both of which are common enemies of kale.
19. Peas + Carrots
Peas fix nitrogen in the soil, helping carrots grow, while carrots aerate the soil, benefiting the pea roots.
20. Okra + Hot Peppers
Both love heat and similar conditions; okra offers some shade, and peppers can deter pests with their spicy foliage.
21. Asparagus + Parsley
Parsley helps stimulate asparagus growth and can also repel some beetle species that attack asparagus shoots.
22. Pumpkins + Corn
Pumpkins shade the soil to retain moisture and reduce weeds, while corn offers structure for the sprawling vines.
23. Leeks + Carrots
Similar to onions, leeks mask the scent of carrots from pests like the carrot fly, while carrots help repel leek moths.
24. Mint + Cabbage
Mint helps keep cabbage moths and ants away, though it should be planted in containers nearby, as it spreads aggressively.
25. Strawberries + Beans
Beans help strawberries grow by enriching the soil with nitrogen, and the strawberries act as a living mulch.
