Finally Putting Plants In The Garden!
I'm planning some mad companion planting this year.
In this corner of the garden, the headliner will be cabbage.
That kalibos cabbage is a ridiculous keeper. We just used the last head from last year's harvest in February!
Supporting cast for the cabbage: carrots (atomic red and yellows, black Pusa Asita, cosmic purples and Danver's halflongs), parsnips, turnips for the root veggies. Sage and rosemary, very effective at deterring cabbage moths. Brussels sprouts. Camomile, it enhances the flavor of cabbage with sulfer, potassium and calcium. Yarrow, because it improves soil condition, will most likely be planted around the edges, here and there.
I've already planted a couple of parsley and dill plants among the cabbage.
I know, it's a little early, but I can not wait any longer and the weather has been too perfect.
I've also got the root vegetable's seeds here and there. I laid the seed tape I made directly on the soil surface and sprinkled on some straw.
They need to be watched pretty closely for the next week or so to make sure they don't dry out.
I've got plenty of seed and lots of seedlings just in case a hateful freeze takes what's in the ground.
What Will Not Be Going In The Ground Around The Cabbage
Tomatoes, peppers, and mustard are combative with cabbage. Strawberries will compare their growth. I'll also keep the beans away from the cabbage.
So that's what I've got goin' on today. What have you been up to?
