Pepper is a complex and demanding crop to grow, but this does not affect the popularity of the vegetable.
Despite the fact that pepper has its own "requirements", you can always grow some crops next to it.
Special attention should be paid to herbs, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist.
What herbs can be planted nearby?
You can safely choose such popular options as cilantro and dill. You will enrich your personal herb reserves, and they will not harm the pepper.
However, remember that over time, crops can grow taller. Therefore, they should be cut off, and the roots left in the soil. This is useful for improving its quality.
You can also plant parsley: there is no direct "confrontation" between the crops. Also, parsley rarely grows too tall.
You can plant exquisite marjoram, but at the same time make a decent distance from the pepper: the spice can grow tall.
Thyme is often grown next to pepper. It is used not only in cooking, but also becomes an excellent natural remedy against colds.
