If you want a healthy vegetable garden, here are five vegetable pairings that must be kept separate. 1. Potatoes & Tomatoes. Potatoes and tomatoes are both nightshades and if grown together, they can impact each other's growth cycles in a bad way. 2. Garlic Or Onions & Legumes. Planting garlic or onions with legumes like peas and beans can greatly decrease the chances of the legumes growing well due to sulfur compounds. 3. Broccoli & Tomatoes. It is believed that growing cruciferous vegetables like broccoli next to tomato plants will stunt the tomatoes' growth, so keep these two separate. 4. Oregano & Squash. Oregano can easily overwhelm the fast-growing squash plant, and both have different watering needs. 5. Garlic & Onions. Garlic and onions are both nitrogen feeders. Two heavy feeders planted together will cause them to deplete soil nutrients rapidly.

Tomatoes are a large plant and can take up 2' of space and you'll need 2' of space between plants. Cucumbers when grown without a trellis will take up a 4'x4' footprint. Squash will take up a 12'x12 space. Bush type cucumbers take a 2'x2' of space.
Plants in the same family as zucchinis, melons and pumpkins should not be planted directly next to cucumbers. The same applies to Jerusalem artichokes, lovage, sage, radishes, radishes and tomatoes.
Radishes. One of the fastest-growing vegetable plants you can grow is radish. Some types are ready to eat in as little as 3 weeks from seeding. They are a cool-season vegetable, meaning they do best in spring or fall, before or after the heat of summer.
Cool-season types—asparagus, carrots, lettuce, garlic, onions, and radishes—can tolerate a bit of frost, so you can plant them earlier in the season and perhaps plant a second crop to harvest in the fall.

Tomatoes. These aren't the easiest to grow, but if you can nurse tomato plants through issues such as blight, septoria leaf spot, and groundhog attacks, the payoff is huge. ...
Carrots need well-drained, well-cultivated soil. Add a couple inches of compost or well-rotted manure, and a light application of general-purpose fertilizer before planting. Work it into the top 8 to 10 inches of soil. Although carrots tolerate a little shade, they'll be at their sweet, crunchy best in full sunlight.
“The easiest rule to follow is to just store like produce together,” Grant-Vose says. “Berries can be stored together, brassica vegetables can be stored together, leafy greens can be together, and most root vegetables (except potatoes) can go together.”
