Growing Dill, Fennel & Coriander Together in Small Garden

dogstarheaven

I hear that the books tell you about the cross-pollination of growing either of these plants together, but as a massive foodie, i'd love to grow these. Is there no way around this problem of mine? The garden I have is 10m-ish long and 4m-ish wide. It's practically full to the rafters but I'm thinking of the last two purchases - a dill and a bronze fennel. Atm, the home-grown coriander is in my raised bed amongst my veggies atm, and the normal fennel in my flower bed 2m away. The fennel is allowed to flower as it's purposefully for the bees, but the coriander is grown just for the leaf. The bronze fennel I bought I'm thinking whether it'll be possible to put in the flower bed, but I'm unsure whether it'll revert to the normal green colour if it was too close the the normal variety I have.. what do you think? Also, not sure about the dill, altho' maybe it'll go in a container as it's still very young at about 2.5" tall.

What shall I do about this, or am I stuffed??!! btw, the garden's S.E facing. I have a walk-in plastic 6shelved greenhouse, but that's full with trays of veg and toms to go out later...:D

I'd grow them together anyway - just for the sheer beauty of the arrangement, no matter how short-lived.

Good luck!
