This is the first harvest of Speedy arugula that I interplanted with the bush beans, along with a good sized Romanesco zucchini. I am happy that I planted the Romanesco zucchini because I didn't have a free spot to put up a trellis to support the Tromboncino squash until just recently and those plants have only just popped their first true leaves.

Zucchini hogged the camera a second time. At least I didn't photograph the third one as well.

Harvest Monday is hosted by Daphne on her blog Daphne's Dandelions, head on over there to see what other garden bloggers have been harvesting lately.
I wonder if my zucchini has come up yet. Probably not. Yours look so good. You pick them very young, but they are a decent size anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea to plant beans along with arugula! I'll have to try something like that. And congratulations on your squash!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful arugula. I should give it a try once again - I did try it many years ago, but didn't really like the flavour all that much. But tastes change & there are so many different varieties to try, so you never know.
ReplyDeleteMost of my interplanting is volunteers. I have cilantro and scallions all over the place. Nice to see the zucchini again. My patented Renee's magic Costata Romanesco seeds are in the ground. Not sure if they will like the 50 degree soaking we are getting now, but it was 90+ when they were planted.
ReplyDeleteI predict the Romanesco will be photobombing a lot in the coming months! I love your interplanting experiment. I'm going to try putting lettuce between the sweet potato plants this year.
ReplyDeleteWell, here in the UK we call aragula "rocket", so it's ALL speedy! Interplanting is a good technique for someone like me who has limited space available.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I think my whole garden is inter planted. I have six raised beds, all small, and the plants just tumble all over each other.
ReplyDeleteThe zucchini is so pretty, I interplanted bok choy with fava beans this year they come out good, I also have baby turnips interplanted with eggplant in a half barrel now, should be harvesting them soon, it's getting hot here.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore arugula, and am growing astro variety this year. But our spring has been one of the hottest I recall, and it's already bolting. Argh! Yours looks great.
