Cabbage

Grow cabbage in your garden, and you're sure to gain a new appreciation of this ethnic favorite. Try experimenting with the many interesting varieties available. There are early, mid-season, and late varieties; round, conical, or flat-head types; smooth leaves or savoyed (crinkled) foliage; and colors ranging from yellow green to blue green, deep green, or purplish red. Each has a distinct flavor, with the red types being among the most sweet. Plant cabbage plants 12-24" apart in rows, depending on size of head desired. The closer you plant, the smaller the heads. Although cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower are are closely related, and require similar nutrients, it’s best not to plant them together. They are all heavy feeders, depleting the soil faster of required nutrients; plus, they will attract the same pests and diseases; also best to avoid planting near strawberries and tomatoes. Cabbage can be grown near beans and cucumbers.

Cantaloupes can also be trained on a trellis or fence to save space. Cantaloupes need a constant supply of water, and particular attention should be paid during summer dry spells. They need to ripen fully on the vine; they do not ripen well after they are harvested. Cantaloupes develop a wonderful fragrance when they are ready to pick; the fruit should slip easily from the vine and the blossom end should feel soft to the touch.

Cucumber

Burpless Varieties

Whether eaten in salads or prepared for pickling, cucumbers are one of the most popular vegetables raised in home gardens. Burpless cucumbers are long and slender with thin skin, thus making them easier to chew than “standard” varieties. To grow burpless cucumbers (called that because they contain low or no cucurbitacin, the compound that causes bitterness and increases one's susceptibility to 'burping' after eating the fruits), you’ll need a garden with fertile soil, ample growing space and direct sunlight.

Pickling Varieties

Pickling cucumbers, also known as pickled gherkins, come from the cucumis sativus plant. Traditional cucumber plants take up a lot of space in a garden, but some dwarf varieties can be grown in a smaller space or even in a pot. Pickling cucumbers are typically ready to harvest at 3-5" Don't allow the fruits to become overripe on the vine as this signals to the plant that the seed-development process is nearly complete and it will shut down. Keep mature fruits picked to encourage further production. Harvest the fruits early in the morning before the sun hits the cucumbers for the best flavor and texture.

You'll want to harvest slicing cumbers when they are between 7-9" long, and have a bright dark green color. If they get much larger than this, they'll be bitter and won't have a pleasant texture at all. When you pick your cucumbers, you should leave a small, one inch, section of stem attached to the cucumber. This helps prevent the stem end from rotting in storage if you won't be using the cucumber right away.

Leaves may be blue-green, green, or burgundy in color, and ruffled, curly, deeply cut, or flat in form. Kale grows best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade as well. Plants that receive fewer than 6 hours of sun daily will not be as stocky or leafy as those that get ample sun, but they will still be plenty edible! Color and flavor improve with cool weather.

With very little space, growing lettuce gives you a steady supply of wonderful salads from earliest spring until past frost. You can grow in in your garden or in containers.

Onion

Bunching Varieties

Commonly known as scallions or green onions, bunching onions are bulbless types with a milder flavour than many larger onions. They are highly versatile and can be eaten raw, or cooked in soups, salads, dips, stir-fries and more. Bunching onions are very hardy. When planting, space the bunches 2" apart; they tolerate close spacing because they don't need from for bulbs. Pull any weeds from the bed as soon as they appear, because onions compete poorly with weeds. Harvest the bunching onions once the bulbs are 1-2" in diameter. Loosen the soil around each bulb and lift if from the soil, taking care not to break the leaves.
