Companion planting can help add nutrients to the soil, prevent pests from attacking plants, and help with wind, rain, and other climate conditions. Companion planting is helpful to any garden, and it will produce positive results; this article will discuss companion plants alphabetically from H through P.

Kohlrabi is a plant that grows nicely with beets and onions, but do not plant them with tomatoes or pole beans.
Leeks grow really well with celery, celeriac, and carrots. Leeks help repel carrot flies so they grow well together.

Peas like being grown near radishes, cucumbers, corn, beans, and turnips, but it should be kept away from onions and garlic.
Potatoes are a great crop, and early potatoes and regular potatoes have different companion plants. Early potatoes like growing with corn, cabbage and peas. These potatoes like growing with peas especially because the peas add nitrogen to the soil and potatoes need nitrogen to be healthy.

Broad beans, eggplant, and horseradish grow well with regular potatoes, but potatoes should not be grown with tomatoes and pumpkins.
Pumpkins enjoy growing close to corn because corn provides shade and protection from wind, but pumpkins do not grow well with potatoes.
