Stem cabbage, rhubarb & beans

The main crops growing in this bed are rhubarb and stem cabbage. These two crops can be grown as perennials in the bed, although wild broccoli is usually grown as an annual. Next to these two heavy eaters are broad beans, which are legumes that fix nitrogen in the soil and therefore complement the bed well. Marigolds and endive can also be found at the edge. So that you can use your bed all year round, we have also planned suitable pre- and post-crops. As the broccoli is only planted out in late spring, you can also plant peas and spinach here. A good pre-crop for endives is kohlrabi, for example. As a follow-up crop for the broad beans, you can plant lamb's lettuce, which also has a positive effect on the soil with its deep roots.
