plant tomatillos and ground cherries in wide open spaces. they’ll take over small gardens
pick carrots as soon as they are the size you like, rather than leaving them in the ground. Where I live, if they’re left in the ground, cutworms dig in, and once they do, the rest of the carrot develops a “dirt” smell. Pick beets sooner than later, too.
plant mint, thyme, and other aromatics in corners of garden to keep ants away
don’t plant tomatillos or zucchinis near onions, garlic or beans. They’ll crowd out the weaker plants.
plant only 2 cucumber mounds, and plant another mound a month later, so they don’t come all at once.
plant cucumber and tomatillos far apart, and not near okra. They’ll climb the okra, hurting the plant.
plant no more than 1 roma tomato plant, and maybe none.
cylindrica beets, and stupice tomatoes are good ones in our garden.
plant spinach, dill and cilantro frequently, since they mature quickly.
only plant turnips in cool weather, or they become too sharp
arugula grows better in the coldframe than at the farm
