Heat-loving watermelons can be grown outdoors in warmer climates or in a greenhouse in areas that don’t reach those same high temperatures naturally. Wherever you grow watermelon, you strive for them to develop healthily and produce great fruits to pick. As an annual crop, it means a lot of pressure to perform in that one growing season.
That is where watermelon companion planting offers a helping hand. By planting beneficial vegetables, flowers, or herbs nearby, you can boost harvests and keep watermelon plants healthy. Whether it is repelling pests, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects, or providing a boost of nutrients, there are many natural advantages to companion planting when you grow watermelon.
