That is a great news. The reason I asked is because when I first started gardening my father-in-law told me that when he used to keep a garden back in USSR, they never planted cucumbers and tomatoes in the same area since it was thought that cucumber leaf viruses are spreadable to tomato leaves and will result in tomato plants dying. He said that it was one of the fundamental rules back then, so I just followed

. Up until now I tried planting cucumbers in pots with not a great luck. They never showed their true potential. It is nice to know that I can plant them together since I only have 1 garden area.
