You'll harvest the radishes before the brassicas get big enough to shade them. Arugula & Mizuna are two other fast growing things you could plant around the slow growers. 01:07:49 Mary: i have cabbage and snow peas 01:08:04 Mary: and carrots and bok choy 01:08:11 Andrew Cobb: I love arugula under slow growing summer and winter crops too 01:08:27 Donna Parks: beets and broccoli 01:08:52 Andrea Albright: Can we get a copy of this presentation? It went by really fast! 01:09:05 Noel Ivey: Please post the name of the gardening handbook 01:09:13 susanallenbryan: peppermint next to eggplant stopped squirrels from biting and eating them at all! 01:09:16 Lynn’s iPhone: how important is it to rotate crops? can you just fertilize well? 01:09:20 Linda Foss: Onions or leeks among anything where there is space, except legumes. 01:10:01 Mary: My marigolds are HUGE and shading my bush beans too much. 01:11:37 Joy Lindsey: This is not about companion planting, but any problem with planting other root crops (carrots, beets, radishes) where you have just harvested sweet potatoes? 01:12:03 Lauren Rogers: I've heard you shouldn't plant too close to tree trunks - is there a rule of thumb for interplanting near trees for success? 01:12:27 Noel Ivey: Please post the name of the gardening handbook. 01:14:14 julietrobson: The Pdf will be great, thanks 01:14:53 Donna Parks: do we plant marigolds now? 01:14:56 Emily Purvis: I've never eaten flowers. How are they prepared for consumption? 01:18:40 Scott Howard: I'm a fan of crimson clover (legume) as a cover and interplanting crop in the fall/winter. Others you might recommend in the fall/winter? 01:19:01 Zina White: are turks caps flowers edible 01:19:42 Mars At Large: I love turks cap flowers 01:19:49 Linda Foss: Arugula flowers are good in salads. Arugula grows fast and often bolts when we have a warm period. So harvest the flowers & seeds and plant more arugula. 01:21:31 Clint Mitchell: Asparagus ? I have a small stand going for a couple of years but not getting anything to harvest to eat 01:21:31 Andrew Cobb: https://www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/greens/arugula-roquette/astro-organic-arugula-seed-2015G.html I had a lot of good luck with Astro Arugula as a summer crop. It never bolted! I actually want it to bolt to get the seeds and it hasn't. lol 01:23:33 julietrobson: Any experience with artichokes? I like the little ones you can eat all of, not globes 01:25:03 susanallenbryan: I got 17 artichokes the first season on one plant and 9 on the other. 01:25:16 Pilar: same, I do one at the school garden, but takes forever 01:25:40 julietrobson: I’m thinking of spreading them around in odd spots so space isn’t too much of an issue. Good advice, thanks. Curiosity value anyway for me! Showpiece sounds fun. 01:26:04 julietrobson: I’ll look into cardoons, thanks 01:28:35 Emily Purvis: Mushrooms? Any beginner tips? 01:29:03 Pilar: what fertilization schedule and how much do you recommend for high yield? 01:29:31 Emily Purvis: Plants that would be great to start in pots now for attractive Christmas gifts that could also also a bit of stress relief for our cooped up loved ones? 01:29:36 Scott Howard: For short day bulbing onions, Dixondale is soon to begin sending out oinion slips 01:31:31 Suzy Shapiro: which food crops can grow in our native soil mixed with composted cow manure? 01:33:38 Suzy Shapiro: well elevated areas 01:36:21 Mars At Large: I know Daikons are good for loosening soil 01:36:55 Janice: Thank you for your excellent presentation and willingness to share notes and Powerpoint.
