Mint & Oregano 🍃 – They flower, but their growth isn’t drastically affected. Pruning helps keep them leafy.

Lack of Pruning ✂️ – Regular harvesting delays flowers and keeps basil bushy.
Stress Factors 🚨 – Drought/inconsistent watering can speed up the flowering process as the plant tries to reproduce quickly.

How to Start Companion Planting:
🌱 Group plants by function (pest control, soil health, growth support)
🌱 Rotate crops each season to maintain balance
🌱 Experiment with different combinations to see what works best in your garden!

Bad Companion Pairings:
Not all plants get along!
🚫 Tomatoes & Potatoes = These two compete for nutrients
🚫 Carrots & Dill = Dill stunts carrot growth
🚫 Beans & Onions = Onions slow bean growth
