I haven't decided yet if I believe in companion planting. I know that when I plant marigolds throughout the garden I tend to have fewer bug problems.
Most of the information I know about companion planting I get from this website: http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html
For my garden specifically:
Beans like spinach, lettuce, carrots, dill, brassicas, beets, radishes and cukes
Radishes like cukes, lettuce and squash
Asparagus likes: basil, chives, garlic, onion, mint, parsley and marigolds; dislikes dill and beans
Tomatoes: pretty much the same as asparagus
Peas: beans, parsley, eggplant, cukes, brassicas, carrots and radishes, dislikes onions
Onion: cukes, peppers, squash, tomato, brassicas, beets, dill, lettuce; dislikes asparagus, beans, peas and sage
Peppers: same as asparagus
Okra: lettuce, peppers, eggplant, basil, cukes, melons and peas
Eggplants: beans, peas, peppers, spinach, marigold
Brassicas: beans, cukes, mint, onion, rosemary, sage, thyme, marigold; dislikes tomato and beans
Squash: onions and radishes
Cukes: beans, peas, eggplant, marigolds, onion, peas, tomatoes and dill
Basil: tomatoes, peppers, oregano, asparagus
Kohlrabi: cukes, onions, beets
Melons: radish, squash, marigolds
Radish: beets, carrots, cukes, melons, lettuce, parsnips, peas, spinach, squash
Plants that are good for fall crops:
Endive
Escarole
Carrots
Beets
Kohlrabi
Parsniops
Spinach
Also good to know: dill and radishes are good for deterring squash bugs
