What sounds like an old 1950s doo-wop song title is actually putting vegetables in flower beds. It’s not an official garden title, but I find it rather descriptive.
Most flower beds have room for annuals. Many modern yards do not have room for gardens. What’s a gardener to do? Mish-mash, my friend!
Some givens for mish-mashing:
* Most vegetables need full sun.
* Plant sets will work easier than seeds.
* Short is best in front or for edging your beds.
* Vegetables planted towards the middle or back need access to pick.
Typically vegetables and herbs are all about eating, so these plants need to be things that will enhance your table this summer. Something so good fresh it’s worth devoting a little space.
