Summer residents named plants that should be planted next to tomatoes to improve the taste

Tomatoes are one of the most popular crops to grow. To increase yields, gardeners should try planting plants in favorable conditions.

It is believed that some plants mislead potential pests or act as a bait for them. When planting tomatoes, using other plants nearby can help to produce a healthier plant with better yields, according to Express.co.uk.

Tomatoes are best grown with plants such as basil, nasturtium, or marigolds. They will also make tomatoes taste better. Nasturtium can help repel whiteflies as well as aphids.

Planting fennel next to tomatoes can lead to inhibited growth of tomatoes as well as many other plants.
