1. Basil
Rosemary and basil may be favorite herbs in kitchen dishes, but in the garden, they do not mix well. Basil needs more moisture than rosemary, which prefers a drier soil. Planting them together can lead to water distribution conflicts, potentially harming both plants.
2. Cucumbers
Cucumbers are another plant that should not be grown near rosemary. Cucumbers require a lot of water, which can interfere with rosemary’s growth, which thrives in well-drained conditions. Additionally, rosemary can attract several pests that might harm cucumber plants.
3. Tomatoes
While both tomatoes and rosemary do well in full sun, tomatoes require significantly more water and nutrient-rich soil than rosemary, which can compete with rosemary for these resources. This competition can reduce the yield and health of both plants.
