Chili + Tagetes + Basilika
Grown for real in my garden in 2016 — first written up in the log.
Chilli plants in rows, with marigold and basil tucked in between them.
One plan covering three raised beds with chilli as the main crop — marigold and basil fill the gaps, and a first quick batch of radishes, parsley and dill gets harvested out before the chillies need the space.

A friendly reminder: every garden plays by its own rules. Zones, soil, weather and a hundred small things decide what works — so this is how I did it and what worked for me, not a promise. Try, learn, adjust, try again.. that's half the fun anyway.
