Pesto garden

Sweet basil and garlic, the two pesto ingredients you can grow yourself.

Why these are grouped

Chosen for the kitchen. The two ingredients of pesto you can grow: sweet basil and garlic. The pine nuts and the cheese come from elsewhere. Neither plant is known to help the other; they're harvested together for the mortar.

Space it needs

At least 0.5 m²5 ft². If your bed is smaller, the planner grays this plant team out, says why, and offers the nearest adaptation that fits. It never swaps in something else without telling you.

Between seasons

Nothing is left living in the bed over winter; the whole planting is re-established.

What is in it

What it costs the ground

Rotation history belongs to the ground itself, so this is what the planner records about this patch after the plant team comes out.

Rules that decide where it fits

Any vegetables planted together help each other

Refuted

The planner won’t plan around this claim. What is known instead is below.

What is known: Some plant teams rest on a real way one plant acts on another. A kitchen bundle says only that you'll want these things in the same bowl. Both are good ways to plant. Only the first has plants working on each other.

Evidence: settled without a trial (definition).
