“Radish is a trap crop.”

Making a note. That’s a good subject for future plantings/postings.

Unless YOU want to do it. :)

One of my friends who visited yesterday brought me a Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker) plant. It would be perfect for my metal raised beds except I don’t have them set up yet. They are deer & rabbit resistant so it fits that requirement & I am looking for taller plants that will show up against the barn backdrop. I might have to set up one bed & fill it with enough bagged soil/compost to get the plant in there. The only spot I could put it currently is in with the zinnias & I really don’t want to do that. The plant is in a gallon pot so I think it will do ok until I can work out a place for it.

“Radish is a trap crop.” And, it turns out it is relatively tolerant of juglone. An idea is forming...
