Q.

Hi Tui, can tomatoes be planted next to strawberries? I would also like to know where I can find out more about about companion planting in the vege garden. Thanks, Pat.

Hi Pat 

Strawberries and tomatoes are not known companion plants, however they don't dislike each other so they will be fine planted next to each other or in the same garden bed. Tomatoes especially like asparagus, basil, carrot, celery and parsley and they don't like brassicas, fennel, potato or sweetcorn. Read our companion planting guide for more information on what plants to group together. 

Happy gardening, Tui Team
