What if you could make better use of the space around your tomato plants without crowding them, starving them of light, or relying on companion-planting myths?

Plant These 20 Crops with Your Tomatoes and Watch Them Thrive is a practical guide to building a productive tomato bed with vegetables, herbs, and flowers chosen for clear roles: early harvests, efficient use of space, kitchen value, seasonal bloom, pollinator resources, beneficial-insect habitat, and greater garden diversity.

Thomas G. Roberts puts tomatoes first. Instead of treating companion plants as magical protectors, this book shows how to design around tomato sunlight, airflow, support, water, root space, and access.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Use cool-season vegetables before tomato plants fill the bed

Grow lettuce, spinach, radish, carrots, beets, scallions, and bush beans alongside tomatoes

Use basil, parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, thyme, and oregano for harvest and seasonal bloom

Add alyssum, calendula, nasturtium, French marigold, borage, and phacelia responsibly

Plan companions by season, mature height, root depth, and growth rate

Protect tomato sunlight, airflow, irrigation, support, and harvesting access

Build a sequence of flowers for pollinators and beneficial insects

Stagger sowings instead of overcrowding the bed

Balance water, fertilizer, mulch, and root competition

Manage pests and diseases in a mixed planting

Create raised-bed, container, and small-space companion gardens

Evaluate companion-planting claims through real garden observation

The book also includes Quick Profiles for all 20 Crops, Three Ready-to-Adapt Planting Plans, Seasonal Record Pages, a guide for evaluating companion-planting claims, and practical advice for choosing seeds and transplants.

Whether you grow tomatoes in a backyard bed, raised garden, or patio containers, this guide helps you create a diverse planting that remains productive, reachable, and manageable.

Give tomatoes first claim on the bed, choose companions by function, and build a healthier garden through timing, spacing, observation, and restraint.
