Tomatoes/cucumbers

Hi, Been told you can have quite a few problems growing cucumbers alongside tomatoes ie blackfly etc can anyone shed any light on this as this is my 1st year with a greenhouse any advise would be appreciated.

 

hi
Never had a great deal of problems in the greenhouse growing them together. One problem is that the toms like it sunny and the cues - humid....or is it the other way round? LOL....there goes another senior moment!!

My cues often get a bit of mildew but it doesnt effect the crop. I have never had probs with aphids etc. To remedy that you could plant marigolds next to the toms as i gather that they repel aphids.

 

I don't know about the humid, but they both like the sun.

 

The cucumber likes sunny arid conditions whilst the tomato prefers it to be a bit more humid. Best to use a hand spray on the tomato leaves.
