In reading again"Carrots Love Tomatoes"...the book....It says growing
Cucumbers near Potatoes will increase all kinds of "wilt and
Destruction" I have grown Cux for a while for pickling and am a
Potato rookie. These guys are not side by side but rowend are 3 feet
apart. I live in 5-6 St Louis MO area. I put my cux out REAL EARLY
and have some fruit already...not ready to pick yet. Am I Near
Doom or will it be ok???? Calm my fears please. Thanks Farmer Joe

Grmph!

My tomato killed my carrot! The tomato grew tall and bushy,
blocking off light to the carrot. Murdering thing...

I've never worried about it and my cukes are often near my tomatoes.
I also live in the St. Louis area and have gardened here for many years.

I made the mistake of growing peas by the onions. The onions are not
amused...

I'm growing my cukes along the okra and corn. Don't know if it will work
but I'll find out soon enough.

Peace,
