I have been trying to learn as much as possible about herbs and veggies before I start growing in a few weeks. I'm growing organically and will be practicing companion planting and rotating in raised beds. I just spent a while looking up which plants are in which families to help me decide on how to rotate (I read that you should not plant crops of the same family in the same spot one after another). So, here is my list! I just checked on the ones that I'll be planting, so its not EVERY veggie and herb. Hopefully some will find this useful. I just love taxonomy :)

chives
garlic
leeks
onion

Apiaceae
carrots
cilantro
cumin
parsley

Asteraceae (Sunflower Family)
