vegtable plant compatibility and proximity


Question
Is it possible to plant straightneck yellow squash or zucchini in the same bed as cucumber? If not, how far apart should they be? Can you plant squash and pumpkin or cucumber and pumpkin in the same bed? Let me know.

Thanks!
CJM

Answer
Connie:

Yes, you may plant the squash and cucumber together, as long as you have enough room. Any of them can also be grown up a trellis to save space.

The only problem that arises when planting different curcubits together is if you were planning on saving the seeds to plant next year, that won't work.
