Try these...
Asparagus... ( LOVES )... Tomatoes, Parsley, and Basil ISSUES... Asparagus is a perennial and thus can NOT be moved with any rotation plan, the male are eaten, while the females go to seed as seen in this picture.
Beans.... (LOVE)... Most herbs... most veggies (especially those who NEED lots of nitrogen)
Cabbage... (LOVES)... Aromatic Herbs, Celery, Beets, Onion (entire family) Chamomile, Spinach, Chard's
Carrots ...( LOVE) ... Peas, Lettuce, Onions, Sage, Tomatoes, Peppers!
ISSUES... remember Carrots take very loose soil, can not be disturbed for a hundred days or more! Therefore I do NOT suggest Onions! if you disturb the soil you will loose your carrots.
Celery... (LOVES)... Nasturtiums, Onions, Cabbage and Tomatoes
Cucumbers... (LOVE)... Beans, PEAS, Sunflowers, and the radish
Lettuce...(LOVES)... Carrots, Radish, STRAWBERRIES, Cucumber
ISSUES... Remember Lettuces wilt or will go to seed in the heat of season, Strawberries and Cucumbers will SHADE the lettuce in the heat of the season lengthening the life of your lettuce.
Corn... (LOVES) Squash, Peas, Pumpkins
Onions ...(LOVE)... Beets, Carrots, Lettuce, Cabbage
Parsley... (LOVES)... Tomatoes, Asparagus
Peas ... (LOVE) Carrots, Radish, Turnips, Cucumber, Beans
Potatoes... (LOVE)... Beans Cabbage, HORSERADISH, and Marigolds
ISSUES... Potatoes are famous for beetles in order not to hurt your worms, one can only hand pick the beetles or have bags... BUT ... Marigolds help as do horseradish plants. BUT remember Horseradish is another perennial that will not want to be moved in your rotation... ANY rotation!
Radish... (LOVES)... Peas, Nasturtiums, Lettuce, Cucumbers
Spinach... (LOVES)... Strawberries, and Fava Beans (not that common in U.S. but delectable!) you have to shell them twice!
Tomatoes... (LOVE)... Onions, Asparagus (see asparagus above) Parsley, Cucumber, Marigolds, Carrots, Basil
ISSUES... when you get your new plant (providing you don't use your own seed) when you do plant it... Plant it as DEEP as possible. it will grow new roots closer to the soil surface as it grows and allow the main roots to pull in DEEP moisture from the soil instead of drying, being wet, drying, being wet. It will help the life of your plant.
ISSUES... While most places will tell you to make tomatoes grow UP, this is fine... but look at your tag is it determinate or indeterminate? IF it is an indeterminate tomato allow it to grow along the ground... at each branch of your stem, cover it with new soil, or compost, it will grow new roots allowing the "suckers" to die back and feed the top limbs, buds and tomatoes until FROST kills the plant.
Turnips (LOVE)... Peas?
