Hi,

We just planted tomatoes near our border of petunias and then we got to wondering...

1. Is this safe as far as eating the tomatoes goes?
2. Are them some flowers that we shouldn't plant near the tomatoes because the roots may be too close together and the fruit may be toxic?

Thank you for your replies.

I think they will be fine. most flowers are fine around veggies. just checked my companion chart - it says tomato dislikes are kohlrabi and potato
