How close can you plant cucumbers to squash?

Cucumbers and squash can be planted relatively close together, typically around 18 to 24 inches apart, as they have similar growth habits and requirements. However, it's essential to consider their spacing for adequate air circulation and sunlight to prevent disease and promote healthy growth. Additionally, since both plants belong to the same family (Cucurbitaceae), keep an eye on potential cross-pollination if you are saving seeds. Proper care and attention to spacing will help ensure both crops thrive.
