Garden Of Eatin'

We planted the first of the from-seed vegetables that we have had in the greenhouse since mid-February out into the garden to keep the lonely shallots company, namely broccoli and cabbage. We are practicing organic companion gardening this year, so we are planting flora that either attracts beneficial insects or drives away destructive insects and pests along with our veggies.  

We have planted calendula with the cabbages and the broccoli was paired with sweet allysum, parsley, marigolds and asters. We also scattered some lettuce seeds under the shaded northern side of some nasturtium plants and planted some sugar snap peas and Amish nuttle beans.
