Pepper Companions

About

Peppers have several beneficial companion vegetables. Tomatoes are one of the best companions, sharing similar growing conditions and deterring overlapping pests. Basil is another excellent choice, as it enhances the flavor of peppers and helps repel pests. Onions can provide a natural pest deterrent, particularly against aphids. Carrots can offer shade to the soil and help conserve soil moisture, which benefits peppers. Additionally, marjoram and oregano are suitable companions that support pepper growth while diversifying the garden.
