I have a 20 by 10 foot plot with mostly heirloom tomatos/ peppers/ squash watermelons that kind of thing. and I was wondering what herbs/ things I could get at the local farmers market would be good companion plants.
basil I know is good?
Anything else?

Marigolds will brighten it up and repel some bugs.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

I have no use for internet bullies!
We started planting Greek Oregano last year. Oregano is supposed to repel mosquitoes, cucumber beetles and cabbage moths.
Oregano will also be a magnet plant to keep aphids, spider mites and leaf hoppers away from the more valuable crops.

A mature Greek Oregano plant spreads to about 24 x 32-34, at least it does here, so give it room.
It’s okay to not know all the answers.
