Botanical family
Lamiaceae
10 plants
The mint family. Most Mediterranean kitchen herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, mint) belong here. They want poor soil, full sun, little water. The dream for a raised-bed corner: plant once, harvest for years.
Crop rotation
Mediterranean mints (rosemary, sage, thyme) are perennial — rotation doesn't apply, they stay in place for years. The real question: ensure poor enough soil + sun.
Nutrient distribution
How many plants in this family are how hungry for nutrients. Raised-bed soil exhausts quickly after heavy feeders — follow with nitrogen-fixers.
