Wow—leave this gal alone for a couple of weeks and *POW* she and her edible landscape have gone crazy!
Crazy as in olive, fig, peach AND pear trees. Crazy as in blueberry hedges, lettuce walkways… Bok Choy, red cabbage, carrots and radish—oh, my! Apparently radish are a gardener’s best friend. Not only easy to grow, these little fellas are the workhorses of the garden!
They keep all sorts of bugs away. For instance, they lure leafminers from spinach, deter cucumber beetles and rust flies, squash borers and more! Just keep them away from the cabbage family and turnips.
I had no idea about this amazing fact. So for you first-timers, radish are for you!
And how about these carrots?
Just lovely and lush against the porch beds filled with greens. And this Kohlrabi looks splendid!
Never even heard of Kohlrabi in the garden, save for a few passing mentions in my gardening magazines. Check out the Bok Choy and cabbage! All just steps away from the kitchen…
Not to mention the blueberries I told you about. Look at these babies, in line and ready to go in!
And don’t think I forgot about those beautiful peach blossoms. Can’t wait for the fruit to begin forming…
Now how about you? Planned your edible landscape, yet?
