I just bought some cherry tomato, pepper, and brussel sprout plants and am wondering where the best place to put them in my garden would be?

My 2 pumpkin plant are in the center of my 45' x 23' garden and are growing back to back.

I was thinking of having these plants as far away as i can from the pumpkin plants (for now).

How does in the far corners sound? or is there a better place to put them?

Thanks

I'd put them somewhere around the perimeter of the patch. That way you should have easy access to them...you won't need walk through the patch to get to them.

Also, if you use chemical pesticides/fungicides for pumpkins, maybe you can keep them from getting sprayed somehow, if they are at the edges.

Do what I do. Keep them in big nursery pots. I do it every year and always have plenty of tomatoes and peppers.

your a good kid . im pleased that you take gardening so seriously. going with the plant in large pots system may be a better solution ( cause you can put them anywhere theres sun) but if you must? go ahead and plant around the edges of patch. - as mentioned be careful what you spray
