Companion Plants to Grow With Carrots🥕✅
There are several companion plants for carrots, which can aid growth and offer protection from pests. Such plants include:

1. Chives: When grown near carrot plants, chives are said to improve the taste and texture of carrots. Chives also deter aphids and other pests.

2. Planting leeks and carrots together can help both plants grow; leeks help deter carrot fly and in turn carrots help deter allium leaf minor and leek moth.

3. Peas and Beans: planting legumes near carrots can enrich the soil through the nitrogen-fixing process.

4. Nasturtiums: make a good companion plant for carrots as they repel aphids and carrot flies. Nasturtiums also attract pollinators.

5. Tomatoes: they provide cooling shade for the developing carrots, while also producing solanin, a chemical that repels carrot flies.

6. Onions: deter many carrot pests, including carrot flies.

7. Radishes: loosen up soil as they grow, making room for carrots to develop healthy roots. As radishes germinate and develop faster than carrots, they can be planted around the same as carrot seeds, meaning you can grow 2 crops from 1 planting area.

8. Herbs: rosemary and sage are good for deterring carrot rust fly. Borage, oregano, coriander (cilantro) and marigolds make good universal vegetable garden companion plants, as they deter a wide range of pests, including pests that attack carrots.
