Growing Organic Vegetables

This website's objective is to show how nutrient dense, healthy, organic vegetables are grown sustainably in my garden. All the vegetables I grow are described including how seeds are propagated and plants grown. Pest control, crop harvesting and food preservation are described where relevant. My methods are no-dig using homemade compost as a top dressing to maintain soil health and an ideal environment in which to grow vegetables...........................John Ashworth. 29th April 2019.

Ecobeds can handle close plantings like this. Its the natural way to grow herbs and vegetables, and this bed is growing climbing beans, tomatoes, dill, parsley, thyme, basil, oregano and a geranium.

All three stages of bean production are shown here including bud formation, flowering and bean pod development.

A nice truss of tomatoes.

This bed looks very neglected, but the potatoes will soon be ready for the main harvest. Although I have already harvested a sack full of potatoes from the back of the bed for immediate use, I will wait until the foliage dies right back before harvesting the main crop. That way the potatoes should store longer before trying to grow new shoots.
