Marigolds
Marigolds are zucchini’s best buddies because they repel pests like aphids and beetles. Plus, they add a pop of cheerful color to your garden!
Nasturtiums
Nasturtiums act as a trap crop for pests, keeping them away from your precious zucchini. Their vibrant blooms are an extra treat!
Borage
Borage is like a natural growth booster for zucchinis. Its pretty blue flowers attract bees, which means more pollination and more zucchinis!
Radishes
Radishes help by breaking up the soil and allowing zucchini roots to grow easier. They mature quickly too, so you get a double harvest.
Peas
Peas fix nitrogen in the soil, giving zucchinis the nutrients they love. Plus, they’re a tasty addition to your garden!
Beans
Beans are another nitrogen-fixer that helps zucchini grow strong and healthy. They also give you a delicious crop to enjoy.
Spinach
Spinach grows fast and can act as a living mulch for zucchinis. It keeps the soil cool and moist, giving zucchini some extra love.
Mint
Mint’s strong aroma can deter pests that munch on zucchini. Just be careful; it likes to spread around!
Dill
Dill attracts beneficial insects that prey on zucchini pests. It’s a win-win for your garden ecosystem.
Garlic
Garlic wards off many common garden pests, making it a great companion for zucchini. Plus, who doesn’t love fresh garlic?
