Squash Companions

About

Squash, with its sprawling vines and bountiful fruits, thrives with the support of strategic companions. Corn is an ideal neighbor, as its tall stalks provide natural trellising for vining squash varieties. Planting squash alongside corn in the traditional "Three Sisters" technique creates a mutually beneficial partnership. Nasturtiums are also valuable companions, as their vibrant flowers attract pollinators while helping deter common squash pests like aphids. This combination fosters a harmonious and productive garden, ensuring robust squash growth and a plentiful harvest.
