taste transfers

Hey all

Been noticing something this yr that I never noticed in previous yrs.

I planted arugual with other leafy greens and almost all of them ended up having the spicy tang of arugula.

Now I just tasted some oregano which has nasturtiums near it and it is the spiciest oregano I have EVER tasted. Took me totally by surprise and I almost choked on it!! I think I will be moving the nasturtium (planted actually to trap aphids) away from the oregano as I really like oregano - the way it is supposed to taste. I love nasturtium in my salads and such but definitely not in my oregano.

I've heard that if you plant hot peppers in the same pot as tomatoes you'll get spicy tomatoes. I've planted them in close proximity before, but I guess not enough to notice a capsicum transfer.

Anyone else notice taste transfers in their gardens?

Tina
