Everything I'm growing right now | April Plot Walk-Around

In this video KG editor Steve Ott is sowing and planting a fast-growing salad crop alongside a slower one in an effort to get as much and as varied food as possible from the patch of soil in his raised bed.

Fast-growing crops such as radish, lettuce, rocket and mustards are a always good to sow through the growing season for interplanting among other slow crops such as brassicas or leeks to get the most out of your available space. Mixing up crops in this way can also help to confuse pests and so reduce damage. Here Steve's hoping the smell of the onions might confuse the flea beetles and stop them from nibbling the rocket!
