Basil almost always dies for three reasons: too cold, watered from above, harvested wrongly. How to avoid all three and harvest fresh basil all summer.
Parsley germinates slowly, is biennial and soil-fatiguing. Know these three quirks and you never have empty beds again. How growing succeeds without frustration.
Brussels sprouts stand in the bed for almost half a year before the first sprouts are ripe. Two things decide firm versus loose sprouts: a firm soil and topping the growing tip in autumn. Here is how the patience crop succeeds into winter.
Kale is the most honest winter-vegetable classic: winter-hardy, healthy and fresh when other beds are empty. What really happens with the cold stimulus, why a hard frost is not necessary at all, and how to crop it from the bottom up from planting to winter harvest.
