- Onions and garlic are compatible with most varieties of tomato.
- Onions also do well with celery and carrots because they repel insect pests that favor these vegetables.
- Onions go together with chamomile, dill, savory and parsley.
- Other companions to plant near onions and garlic include beets, sweet peppers, spinach, lettuce and parsnips.
- Onions also repel insect pests of strawberries and peaches.
Gardening Tip: When you plant onions and garlic around vegetable companions, scatter the onion and garlic plants to minimize infestation by onion/garlic pests such as onion maggots. For good results, interplant the onions and garlic between companion plants.
