Q.
Hi, have you got any advice on what I can grow near tomatoes? I am putting my full concentration around growing these as I have never grown them before. Thanks, Walter.
A.
Carrots, lettuce, chives, onions, leeks, radishes, rosemary, sage, parsley, marigolds and nasturtiums are good options to grow with tomatoes and will help deter insect pests. Avoid planting tomatoes with dill, fennel, potatoes and the brassica family. You can find our tomato growing guide here.

What can I grow near my tomatoes? Comments
I've recently seen advertised a tomato/potato hybrid, seems rather odd, does this combination really work ?

Hi Shirley, one of our staff members has tried to grow one last year. Yes it did work - it did produce potatoes and tomatoes. The tomatoes grew really well but the potatoes not as well as if you had planted separate potato plants. Thanks, Jenna - Tui Team
