I attended the herb class at Dr Yaks and one of the questions the chef answered was what to plant together and what not to... The chef was really informative, the class turned into a very informal speak out with everyone sharing their stories. The Chef Patricia was fun , she spent a lot of time out west and cooked for a herbalist that treated cancer patients. She described how to make "bone tonic" which takes three days. I will try to conjure up this recipe.
Don't plant dill and Fennel together because they will merge into a dill fennel.
I goggled how to plant herbs, and here is some interesting comments that popped up. enjoy please add our comments on how you plant your herbs.
Plant herbs that have the same soil, sun & water requirements together. Usually you can grow herbs anywhere you get half a day or more of sunlight.
Plants can be arranged by the amount of water they'll need, & how large or small the plants will be when mature. Dill & mint need conditions that keep them under control & are best kept separate.
"Mints would not be happy planted with lavender,because lavender does not require much water.
Mint tends to spread out and can overrun a garden or planter. You may want to plant your mint in a separate container. Or, if you want the mint in the ground, use an old, larger pot like the ones many nursery plants come in. Cut the bottom off and bury the pot upright in the earth, leaving the lip of the pot above ground. Plant the mint inside, Sevenski says, and it will thrive in the pot but won't spread throughout your garden."

You could arrange to grow some perennial herbs next to annuals so your ground will not be completely bare when the annuals expire.
Common annuals are basil, cilantro, parsley and dill; perennials include thyme, chives, & sage.
Most herb gardens include include basil, thyme, cilantro, sage and chives. Those basics will serve your needs for Mexican cuisine, spaghetti sauce, fish and poultry and salads. Mint is used in Middle Eastern cooking and in drinks.
