greens?
muzuna or something.
and turnips.
Never heard of mizuna, I'll take a look. I've done turnips a couple of times and I'm the only one who will eat them. No matter how I cook them the family makes a face so I gave up.
Mizuna is our favorite green. One or two plants will give you three cuts of growth. They have great crunchy stems and yummy leaves. Harvest young at baby leaf size by cutting the whole head leaving an inch or two above the crown to regrow. Prolific and hardy.
Strawberry has vitamin B17. Getcha some.
Get into pumpkins, herbs and chillies. Rainbow carrots, horseradish.
Broad beans
Vertical strawberries, wild strawberries (mini)
blackcurrants, blueberries , gooseberry
Herbs
What zone are you in?
Corn
Grow it near the peppers and squashes (look up Three Sisters method)
What about beans? Beans are very easy to grow either vertically or low to the ground (very short root system as well, similar to strawberry plants)
Cabbage is also a great crop if you have room.
I tried corn before but the insects ate everything I grew, haven't tried since. I'm a fan of beans. Might give them a go
Cantaloupe, beans, shallots, carrots. But you gotta stop somewhere, right?
Brussel sprouts
Plums - easy care trees, beautiful, versatile fruit
beans,
perennial culinary herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage)
I'd say strawberries and mint. With all the berries this is a great combo.
Some herbs, like basil, sage, mints.
You are missing watermelons. THE BEST. So much fun skipping around the garden with a soon-to-be-inhaled watermelon.
They are also lovely to look at--prettier leaves than pumpkins and cucumbers .
I am quite fond of Mountain Sweet Yellow watermelons. 😁
