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.

June 2016 (2).

Ecobed 4 has brassicas growing in it this year. I usually pack them in too tightly, but this year they seem fine. I started with 5 lettuce, 3 mini cabbage , 2 mini cauliflower, 2 Romanesco broccoli and 2 Waltham broccoli. 3 of the lettuce have been harvested and curds are forming on the Waltham broccoli.

The Romanesco broccoli have a beautiful, tasty decorative, pale green curd, but only produce one per plant. Waltham on the other hand after producing a large central curd follows by a succession of smaller florets over several weeks.
