Basil and Beyond mentions companion planting, and provides coverage of fifteen crops, mostly herbs. This coverage includes descriptions, directions for starting, growing, preparing and using, potential problems, seed storage, time to maturity, planting dates, height, hardiness, and more.

The appendix also contains a glossary, a list of seed and supply sources, including contact information and websites, thirteen pages of blank, ruled pages for convenient 'Square Foot Notes', and eleven full-page 'Planning Grids' where you can document the layout and more of each garden throughout the seasons.

Numerous charts, including 'Germination Times and Temperatures', indoor and outdoor planting schedules for each season's crops graphically illustrating the growth stages and harvest times for each plant week-by-week, with first and last frost dates marked.
