The VegHeadz gardeners are practicing what we preach. Throughout the garden and in each raised bed there are plants of many types growing together to provide a variety of crops and services to each area. Plants grow better together. Just observe plants in the wild in forests and fields where many varieties grow in close proximity, each benefiting from microorganisms and nutrients shared by other plants. Add native and cultivated pollinator plants to the mix. It’s a good way to grow.

| Well-mulched Tat soi, Kale, Rosemary, and Oregano |

| Mustard and Garlic Chives, a Perennial. Strongly scented plants like Rosemary, Oregano, and Garlic Chives help repel chewing insects |
 |
| Mustard and Crimson Clover cover crops where potatoes and peas will grow in spring |
 |
| Fennel, Buckwheat and multiple varieties of salad greens. Buckwheat attracts garden predators to help control insect pests |
