What Can I Grow With Onions

The idea of planting companion plants has been around for hundreds of years, and is still a staple practice in the garden. Companion planting provides many benefits to the gardener, including possible pest control, improvement of plant health, improved pollination and increased yields. Companion planting with onions is one way to take advantage of these benefits. Onions are one of the better companion plant choices for vegetables, as they pair well with several different vegetables and herbs.

Eggplant grows well when planted in a companion planting plan that includes onions.

Eggplant is a good companion plant for onions. A lot of people don’t realize this, but eggplant actually grows really well when planted in a companion planting plan that includes onions. The reason why it works so well is because the onion can protect the eggplant from insects and other bugs that would otherwise eat it. As long as you keep them close together and make sure they get plenty of sunlight, your crop should do very well.

It’s also worth noting that eggplants are easy to grow in just about any climate and will grow just as well indoors as they will outdoors (provided you have enough room). They’re also very versatile, with many different uses beyond being eaten raw or cooked into other recipes–for instance:

• Eggplant can be used to make fake blood! Just slice up some eggplants into small pieces and add them to boiling water along with red food coloring until it turns dark purple/blackish brown.*
• You could dye fabric with some boiled-down mashed-up eggplant pulp (no need for food coloring).

Beets grow well with carrots and onions, but can be a bit tricky in southern climates.

Beets grow well with carrots and onions, but can be a bit tricky in southern climates.

Beets need a long growing season and prefer cool weather to do best; they don’t like extreme heat. They also demand plenty of sunlight—which is why they’re so popular in northern climates, where the days are longer and warmer than in the south. If you live in an area that experiences hot summers or has short summers at all, it’s important that you plan on getting beets started early enough so they can get big enough before it gets too hot outside (think: March).

If your climate calls for late planting or if you’re just not sure if your soil will support this root vegetable well enough, consider planting another crop around it—such as radishes or lettuce—to help shade out weeds between rows. Be sure to leave room between rows so that once the roots start growing together there won’t be any interference from neighboring plants!

Chervil is a herb that works well with many vegetables, but does especially well when grown close to beets and onions.

Chervil is a mild, sweet herb that can be used for garnishing or added to salads. It’s best to plant chervil in a spot that receives plenty of sunlight and has good drainage. If you are growing chervil with onions or beets, make sure they are spaced far enough apart so they don’t shade one another out. In addition to being a good companion plant for onions and beets, chervil also goes well with other vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants and carrots. To harvest your harvest of fresh herbs, cut them just above the topmost leafy growth once they start to flower (after three months).

Onions and carrots also make good companion planting partners for chamomile, which is another herb.

• Plant chamomile in your garden bed
• Plant chamomile in a container

If you have an empty pot on the patio, fill it with some chamomile and place it near your onion patch. The fresh seeds from this herb will go well with the onions, while also repaying you by keeping pests away from both plants.

Cucumbers are another vegetable that will benefit from growing near onions.

Cucumbers are another vegetable that will benefit from growing near onions. The strong scent of the onion is said to repel cucumber beetles, so planting your cucumber seedlings close by will help them grow faster and resist insect damage.

You can also try planting your seedlings in a mound near the onions you’ve already planted, or you can plant them in a separate area filled with mulch (or even a few inches of soil).

Lettuces also benefit from being grown near onions.

Lettuces also benefit from being grown near onions. The French call this a ménage à trois and the English call it “romantic.” If you can’t grow some onions in your garden, you should at least plant them nearby. They’ll give your lettuce a boost, especially if you’re growing it in containers or on top of something that is otherwise too hard for the lettuce to penetrate (like a tarp).

In addition to improving the soil, onions are good for the air and water around them as well. Their natural pest-repelling properties will keep away mosquitoes and other bugs that might otherwise bother your plants—and their sharp scents will deter rabbits as well! The same goes for squirrels: no more digging up my precious cucumbers with his pointy teeth while I’m not looking!

Nasturtium flowers and plants work well with many other plants, including onions and lettuces.

Nasturtium flowers and plants work well with many other plants, including onions and lettuces. All of these plants have different growing requirements, but each one will benefit from the presence of a nasturtium plant nearby.

Nasturtiums are edible, so you can use them in salads or as a garnish on your plates.

Nasturtiums are also used as companion plants for vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers because they deter pests from attacking the other vegetables in your garden.

They do this by emitting an unpleasant scent when they’re disturbed by insects that repels them away from the area where they were disturbed (much like peppermint oil).

Tomatoes need good companion planting partners, because they can fall ill to a number of different diseases and pests.

If you’re growing tomatoes in your garden, it’s important to know that they are susceptible to a number of diseases and pests. In particular, tomato plants are vulnerable to powdery mildew, verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt.

You can help your tomatoes stay healthy by planting them near companion plants like marigolds, marjoram or borage. These plants will deter some pests from attacking your tomatoes and improve the health of their leaves.

Onions are one of the better companion planting choices, as they pair up well with a variety of different plants.

Onions are one of the better companion planting choices, as they pair up well with a variety of different plants. Onions help prevent pests and diseases in other garden plants by attracting their predators and parasites. They also improve soil health through the release of nutrients into the soil as they decompose.

Onions are a great option for companion planting. They are easy to grow, can handle a variety of climates, and will help many other vegetables thrive in your garden. Whether you want to try growing tomatoes with onions or carrots with onions, you’ll be able to find the best options by planning ahead and selecting plants that work well together.
