Q&A – Can you grow herbs and vegetables together?

Question:
Can you grow herbs and vegetables together?
​​
Answer:
Absolutely. Master Gardener John Peterson recommends choosing annual herbs to grow in the vegetable garden. Perennial herbs tend to spread, which might be difficult in a vegetable garden situation. He also talks about herbs to avoid in a garden because they are invasive. Some people believe herbs with vegetables can discourage insect pests or improve vegetable flavor.
