RE: Gardening with Self-Seeding Vegetables – Embracing the Chaos
Man I never knew you could do that with radishes and tomatoes and I used to grow both. Some of those greens sounds yummy too. Of all the leafy crops you talked about which is your favorite and why?
Hmm... out of the ones on that list orach is my favorite. They are really easy to grow, slugs leave them alone (which is great in western WA!), and they self-seed really easily. Plus I like that they can provide greens starting in spring and continue through the summer heat even when they have flowered. They also look really nice--they can be red, purple, green, or a yellow green color and get nice and tall but don't fall over easily. Growing them along the back of a garden just looks really nice. Or you can grow them scattered throughout since they don't get very wide for some nice variation. Just a fun and easy vegetable to grow.
