Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Mary.  You can, but you need to make sure that you leave enough room--both above and below ground--so they don't deprive each other of sun, water and nutrients.  Here is a great publication on growing vegetables that has a chart, telling how much room to leave:https://extension.oregonstate.edu/pub/em-9027
And here is an interesting article about companion planting, so you use plant characteristics to help each other:  https://extension.unl.edu/statewide/lincolnmcpherson/Cornell%20Guide%20to%20Companion%20Planting.pdf
Good luck!
