I keep thinking of things to ask you guys.

I have a long thin (maybe 6-7 inches across and 4 ft. long) planter that will be empty in spring. Those planters were in one picture I posted on here. My question is this, I can plant several herbs in one of those but are there certain herbs you wouldn’t want to plant next to each other?

You know I don’t know much about herbs and using them so I don’t know if they like to be planted next to some and not others. Maybe they hate certain ones. I studied human behavior for many years so I know why Johnny is (((strange))), but I don’t know herb behavior. Let me know if I shouldn’t plant “x” next to “x”.

Just so you know, I can never be tested to see if I am nuts because I know all the answers to the psychological tests as I gave them for many years. (I can be bribed to give you the answers.) :o)

Others can speak to which likes what, I will say that there are annuals and perinnials. Plant one or the other in the planter. I keep the rosemary, oregano, and thyme together, and the stuff I have to replant every year like cilantro and basil gets moved around.

I'm not strange. I'm eccentric. It's a feature, not a bug.

Here’s a link to get you started. It has plants and herbs listed that work well together, and also ones to avoid.

Off the top of my head, I can’t remember the answer to your question. I am just getting started with medicinal herbs and such myself.

When you apply that theory with regular veggies and fruits and stuff, it’s called “companion planting.” When I gardened in the desert, Dave the Garden Guy was my guru and he was big on organics and companion planting. Spousal unit schedule requires mobilization of physical entity early today, but will scout around and remit what I find. (I adore fennel, but it induces really weird stuff in other plants. Therefore, any fennel I ever plant is gonna be very, very lonely.)
