I saw your basil! I like it! However, here's a suggestion: choose a plant that you like and don't mix different plants in one area. This way, they won't compete for nutrients, and it will be easier to harvest and create a beautiful and organized garden.

Aha. There is a reason I plant mixed like this.
My veggie and Herb Garden is a little wild because I have Planted out neat and tidy with 1 crop only.
What then happens is a pest or a disease affects the plants and quickly spreads, killing everything.
In this garden, it attracts a great diversity of bug life to keep the pests under control.
If a plant gets a disease, it cannot spread it to an incompatible neighbor.
I use an app to check on combative plants and Companion plants and stick the plants into zones like this.
You have a point! That's nice! But it is better if you can separate the other plants so that there is no wrong pollination. Incorrect or unsuccessful pollination can occur in plants. Pollination is the process by which pollen from the male reproductive organs (anthers) of a flower is transferred to the female reproductive organs (stigma) of the same or another flower, leading to fertilization and seed production. ^_^
Indeed.
Good point. I will keep that in mind if I have any plants that I want to go to seed.
Usually, I do not allow my basil to do so as the plant dies after. I can keep them growing and making leaves for months I I prune off the shoots for flowers.
