I am going to be planting some raspberries, blueberries, strawberries
and rhubarb. Are there plants that are known to do well when planted
with any of these?
from a variety of web sites I gathered companion info
Rhubarb
=========
Columbines, roses, wallflowers, garlic, onions
LOVAGE is antagonistic to Rhubarb
Red Raspberry
=============
dislikes Black raspberry & Potato
Strawberries
===============
Bush beans, Lettuce, Onion, pea, spinach, borage like
Raspberrry. Chrysanthmum especially like strawberry
Do not plant strawberries where tomatoes, potatoes, peppers or
eggplant have been grown in the past four years, because these crops
carry the root rot fungus Verticillium which also attacks strawberries
Brasiccas (Broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, turnips, collards, sprouts
& cabbage) dislike strawberries
There are plants that are generally recommended but nothing else
specific to yours.
Among others, Lamb's quarters, lemon balm, marigolds(tagetes),
majoram, nasturitum, oregano, Pot Marigolds(calendula), aster
