fun fact: if you plant oragano next to mint, it will take on a minty flavor.
the tomato mozarella salad I made was... interesting
That’s so cool
Crystal cool - Holly
A similar thing happens with fennel and dill. The result is something that tastes like a weaker mix of both and the fennel doesn't grow a bulb.
Peppers and tomatoes can do this too. I used to grow tomatoes and habaneros in the same raised garden bed, and the tomatoes always came out with quite the kick
Define close please. Also mint please I got a nice lemon balm patch right next to some Greek oregano I bought because why not. The rest of my oregano lives in the bee alley.
Touching distance, basically
Oh whew. We have a pepper patch between the experimental greek oregano and the lemon balm disaster
