Fennel is usually planted out for some time between mid-spring and middle summer, but it is best to keep fennel away from your late crop when the time comes.

CauliflowerHowever, plant experts also recommend keeping Bracicus and Latus separate in the garden as they do not even make good fellow plants.
“Latus plants have fibrous roots that are quite shallow and are not great in competing for sunlight or nutrients,” the courtney Williams of Fedco Seeds explains. “Bracicus share a similar root structure and are in direct competition for food and water.”
In addition, letters and brassicus can attract many similar insects and planting these crops together can make it easier to spread insects of insects in your garden.

But Summer squash and other couses are strong producers who can quickly overwhel a small garden and cross the crops that grow small, or slowly growing like a late.
“These plants are heavy feeders and can compete with latuuses for nutrients,” Miano says. “Their vines can also overtake the late because they grow so fast.”
If you need Squash And in the same garden beds, look for the squash plants of the cushion-type that do not throw out the vines, or keep your plants a little tamor by training their plants to grow vertically on the trails.

What to plant next to Latus
However, just because parsley and some other plants do not grow well with letters, this does not mean that there are not many excellent crops for fellow plant with a letter in the mid-season. Miano recommends alium such as chivs, onions and garlic.
He says, “Insects like Aphids love letters, but are closed by the chungle people of the aliums.”
In addition to Alliums, Williams gave some more companion seedlings suggestions for the lates if you are still not sure what to grow near your late patch.
“In the heat of summer, the late crops may benefit from growing near long crops,” says Williams. It can include beans and peas, closed tomatoes, or even plants Shrill Throw the late, winged fronts in the season.
In addition, Williams also recommend connecting latures with plants such as carrots and beats, or beans such as nitrogen fixer. These plants have separate root systems and are less likely to compete with latuuses for space.
Even better, nitrogen-fixing legumes add nutrients to the soil that support the development of leafy lame, while the root crops break up and affect hard soil and make it a little easier to spread to the lateral roots.
