**Nasturtiums**: These guys are great because they attract beneficial insects and can help deter pests like aphids. Plus, they look pretty cool in the garden!

**Radishes**: Planting radishes near cucumbers can help with pest control. They grow quickly and can be harvested before the cucumbers get too big, so they won’t compete for space.

**Corn**: Corn provides a nice tall structure for cucumbers to climb on, and the two plants can actually help each other out. Just make sure to give them enough room!

**Beans**: Beans are awesome because they fix nitrogen in the soil, which cucumbers love. Plus, they can climb up the same trellis, making great use of vertical space.

**Marigolds**: These flowers are not just pretty; they also repel nematodes and other pests. Planting them around your cucumbers can keep your garden healthy and vibrant.
