Let’s get started!
Basil and Rue
Basil loves companionship, but not when it comes to rue.
These herbs just don’t vibe well together, turning your garden space into a spicy standoff!
Carrots and Dill
Carrots and dill might seem harmless, but dill can stunt the growth of carrots.
It’s like having a party crasher who just won’t leave!
Mint and Rosemary
Mint is notorious for taking over the garden, while rosemary prefers its space.
Planting these two together is like putting a free spirit in a tiny room!
Coriander and Lavender
Coriander likes it cool while lavender basks in the sun—definitely not a match made in herb heaven.
They’d probably just argue about the ideal amount of sunshine.
Sage and Cucumbers
Sage may be flavorful, but it doesn’t play nice with cucumbers.
This combo could lead to some unhappy plants on your windowsill!
Thyme and Fennel
Thyme is chill and easygoing, while fennel is more of a diva.
Mixing these two can cause a serious clash of personalities in your herb garden.
Oregano and Basil
Oregano might crowd out basil if they’re planted too close.
It’s best to give them their own space if you want both herbs at their best!
Chives and Beans
Chives are charming little guys, but they can hinder the growth of beans.
It’s better to let them do their own thing without stepping on each other’s toes!
