A bush tomato, basil and a pepper, the pizza garden sized for a pot or a sunny windowsill.
Why these are grouped
Chosen for the kitchen. The pizza garden for a pot or sunny windowsill: a bush tomato, basil, and one pepper, all annuals. The cost is the perennial herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary). They want permanent, unrotated ground and rosemary a mild zone, neither of which a replanted annual pot gives, so they are dropped. As in the full pizza garden, none of these plants is known to help another. They share the bowl.
At least 1 m²11 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.
The one trial we know of found no difference in flavor, and nobody has proposed how it would work. Plant basil next to tomatoes anyway. You'll want them at the same time in the kitchen.
What is known
No proposed mechanism. One garden trial is known: a 2004 West Virginia University study whose blind taste tests over three years found no consistent preference for tomatoes grown with companions. Extremely widely believed.
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.
