Radish Companions

About

Radishes are versatile companions in the garden and flourish alongside various plants. Peas and pole beans benefit from the radishes' ability to deter pests. Planting leaf lettuce between radish rows maximizes space and provides shade, extending the harvest. Nasturtiums can attract beneficial insects while serving as a trap crop for pests. Radishes' efficient growth can complement slower-maturing cucumbers. Finally, radishes are our favorite for interplanting with carrots as they improve carrot germination and can be harvested while the carrot seedlings are still small. These companions contribute to a balanced and productive garden ecosystem.
