What plants I do not recommend planting Pepper, if you want to get a good Harvest

Strict order reigns in my summer cottage. The explanation is easy. There is not much land, but I want to plant and grow both. Therefore, when the spring chores with planting begin, I always plant seedlings in certain places, using the advice of my mother and my life experience.

For example, my husband is very fond of bell peppers. And bitter is constantly used as a seasoning for soups and meat. His gastronomic preferences sometimes create slight difficulties. After all, this culture does not get along with all plants.

· Close relatives are actually bad neighbors. It turns out that sweet and bitter peppers cannot be grown side by side. Yes, they have self-pollination. In order for the ovary to form, one plant is enough.

But cross-pollination is still there. In hot weather or in a greenhouse, such an incident can occur. The result will be the following. Bell peppers will become less fleshy and grow smaller than average.

The taste will suffer a little. But bitter can no longer be called that. The pungent taste of the hybrid fruit will be absent.

· Mom did not advise planting cabbage next to pepper, be it a simple white cabbage, Brussels sprouts or kohlrabi. It turns out that this rule has a practical meaning.

The aforementioned plants, plus beets, simply adore water and take it from the soil at a pump speed. Peppers, if they are nearby, will not be able to get enough moisture and nutrients.

· The opposite situation will arise if you plant cucumbers nearby. This beloved vegetable simply loves water. And for peppers, the opposite situation will turn out. Excess moisture will adversely affect yields.

· In view of saving space, I always try to sow dill among other crops. Growing up, it does not interfere with the maturation and growth of others. But not in the case of peppers. The bushy green umbrellas of the seasoning will form high enough off the ground to form a shade.

Pepper fruits cannot form and grow without sufficient sunlight. Do not forget about insect pests that can live in dill and feed on the fleshy fruits of vegetables.

Also, do not sow legumes among the peppers. Growing up, peas will twine around the stems, preventing them from growing and the fruits to ripen. A fungal disease common to the two species can aggravate the situation. So why expose your future harvest to unnecessary risk?

· Other plants of the nightshade family, such as the popular potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, suffer from the same diseases. Therefore, if possible, they should be grown in different places so that pests cannot damage both of them.
