The peas will run on the homemade trellis which will provide shade to the spinach and lettuce. Once these are expended, cucumbers will take their place. Peas also are legumes which naturally put nitrogen in the soil.

I also planted New Zealand white clover underneath all brassica's. This supposedly helps with moisture problems in the late Spring and will attract beneficial insects and deter worms that normally will appear on these types of plants.

Lettuce and spinach are also cool weather crops and go well with all of the above. You can see from the segment, lettuce and spinach is planted throughout the garden. I carefully considered where I planted these plants.

My Spring peas will provide shade for the lettuce and spinach that it needs when the weather is hotter here in the South. When the peas are expended, then the cucumbers will replace them.

If considering companion planting you will need to plan, plan plan!! Spacing is important so keep this in mind.
