Welcome to our fourth Polyculture Profile in our series , the first and only annual polyculture that we will be publishing here. During this post, we'll go into the details of how to grow this herb and vegetable polyculture that can provide a reliable harvest of beans, basil, tomatoes, courgette, butternut squash, as well as marigold and calendula flowers for herbal teas from June - October.
It maybe helpful for you to look over this Polyculture Profile Layout post before or after reading the profile, where we provide a description of the profile layout and some general notes to consider, should you wish to try to grow the polyculture yourself.
