This week’s video clip is a tour of the garden bed with kale, broccoli, and horseradish. The horseradish is a perennial, and we like planting kale and broccoli in the same bed because their overall shapes and growing habits are similar. It’s very easy and convenient to reach into the bed and nip off kale leaves or the broccoli when it’s ready. Again, we plant the individual plants fairly close together to discourage weeds and we mulch heavily. There’s a rather pretty, thick layer of leaf mulch at the ground level.
This clip is from 2009 and we’ll be posting more recent clips. We do mix it up a little every year and try different combinations or varieties of vegetables. Here’s an active link to the movie below.
