One of my favorite images from the raised bed garden is featured in this post. Learn my napa cabbage and nasturtium recipe to grow on this post. I can still taste the amazing salads we made with red romaine, napa cabbage, and the bright orange Nasturtium blooms. YOu will learn a few tips on how to grow these in your home garden as well.
Napa Cabbage and Nasturtium Growing Tips
Everything in this photo was grown from seed except for the napa cabbage that I bought as a starter plant from a local garden center.
In this bed was also radishes, beets, and various lettuces. I shared the planting day of those seeds in this blog post: Spring Planting.
The best cabbage of any variety I have ever grown has been in the dome during the winter season. The bugs do not seem to get bother the cabbage-like they do in my raised beds outdoors.
Napa Cabbage and Nasturtium Planting Recipe
- Start the nasturtium seeds after all danger of frost as a border plant.
- Be sure to check out what local nurseries and garden centers have in the veggie starter plant department. I’m noticing a growing trend in oriental veggies.
- Lettuces are easy to start from seed as long as you do it early in the season and water carefully.
- Established plants benefit from mulch because it will help keep the plant cool and keep in moisture.
