One of the happy successes this year was the mini cabbage. We got 2 different varieties at the suggestion of our daughter. We planted "Tiara" and "Caraflex" both from Johnnies. One is pointy and one is round, can't remember which is which.The small heads are great on the mandolin slicing for coleslaw.And now that the carrots are ready, we can make lots! The second planting really loved the cool, wet August.

Planning the perfect Christmas dinner? Your homegrown Brussels sprouts are the star! 🌱
Top Tip: For bigger, more uniform sprouts, pinch out the main growing tip at the top of the plant in the next few weeks. This focuses all the plant's energy into fattening up the sprouts on the stalk. #gyo -

My beautiful mess of a #HomeGarden . Leaving some #WildStrawberries and other flowers there to attract #pollinators. The #ButternutSquash is a wash, but I have #JapaneseCucumbers and #SummerSquash almost ready to plant. I dug up the #SweetPotatoPlant, which did produce a teeney weeney potato, but not worth the space (and wasn't doing well). However, the #BlackOilSunflowers and #HopiBlueCorn are doing quite well (and I have more to plant), and so are the #AnasaziBeans!

I did not know this!
"Plants to Avoid Growing With Lettuce
Just as there are good companion plants to grow beside lettuce, there are also plants that will struggle nearby lettuce—or will inhibit your lettuce from growing properly. Lettuce doesn’t grow well near:
Crops in the cabbage family. Try to avoid growing lettuce next to broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, or kohlrabi—while some varieties of lettuce may help these cabbage-family (brassicas) crops to grow, these plants have particular root secretions that can prevent lettuce seeds from germinating.
Fennel. Fennel is a garden crop that doesn’t play well with most other vegetable garden plants, so it’s not recommended for most home gardeners. While it can attract beneficial insects, it can actually serve as an inhibitor to the growth of most other plants—stunting them or even killing them completely."#SolarPunkSunday #CompanionPlanting #GrowingLettuce #GrownYourOwnFood #GYO #Gardening

Some plants help each other enormously, while others hinder their neighbors – use this cheat sheet to ensure harmony in the vegetable plot.
By Melissa Breyer
Updated April 18, 2023
"There can be real discordance in the vegetable garden. Placing plants side-to-side that vie with one another, for example, does not do much good for any of them. But there is wonderful community that can happen between plants as well – and it's a great way to strategize when plotting out a garden plot.Welcome to companion planting."

#SweetPotato Companions: Best #CompanionPlants For Sweet Potatoes
By Liz Baessler
last updated June 18, 2021Excerpt: "So what are some of the best companion plants for sweet potatoes? As a rule of thumb, root vegetables, such as #parsnips and #beets, are good sweet potato companions. Bush beans are good sweet potato companions, and certain varieties of pole beans can be trained to grow along the ground intermingled with sweet potato vines. Regular potatoes, though not actually closely related at all, are also good sweet potato companions. Also, aromatic herbs, such as thyme, oregano and dill, are good sweet potato companions. Sweet potato weevil, a pest that can wreak havoc on crops in the Southern United States, can be deterred by planting summer savory nearby.
What You Shouldn’t be Planting Next to Sweet Potatoes
The biggest problem with planting next to sweet potatoes is their propensity to spread. Because of this, one plant to avoid, in particular, when planting next to sweet potatoes is squash. Both are strong growers and fierce spreaders, and putting the two next to each other will only result in a fight for space in which both will likely be weakened. Even in the case of companion plants for sweet potatoes, be aware that your sweet potato vine will grow to cover a very large area, and take care that it doesn’t crowd out its beneficial neighbors."
