Looking for companion plant suggestions
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? |

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 DiGiTAL ViNYL (no email) Zone 6b/7, Westchester Co, NY, 1 mile off L.I.Sound 1st Year Gardener |

For an excellent discussion about companion planting, check out "How to grow
more vegetales than you thought possible in less space than you can imagine" by Jon Jeavons (sp?) it's an AWESOME book that covers tons of stuff on organic gardening and intensive methods. later john |
