🌿 Companion Planting Tip
Pimento Peppers thrive when planted near basil, onions, carrots, or tomatoes, which help deter pests and improve flavour. Avoid planting near beans, kale, or fennel, as they may compete for nutrients or space. Peppers also benefit from mulching to retain warmth and moisture during hot summer days.
