not plant onions next to ----?

15 years ago

I have wild onions everywhere. I thought I would transplant them in a border around my vegetable garden to discourage pests, bunnies, deer, (just in case it might work)... besides otherwise they'll get mowed. Is there any vegetable or herb that I don't want to have them near because it will affect their taste? Thank you

Keep them away from peas, beans, any legume. They will stunt one another's growth.
