Backyard and Indoor Grocery Gardening: Companion Planting: Cauliflower

Companion Planting: Cauliflower

I love cauliflower but I couldn't grow it this year. Shame too because my kid likes it too. Next year, even in a container, we'll plant some yellow cauliflower - yum!

Anyhoo...

Cauliflower can be bothered by the white cabbage butterfly. Plant celery near cauliflower to repel that butterfly.

Don't plant cauliflower near strawberries or tomatoes - doesn't like either one of them.

NOTES:
Remember to stock up and store MANY mason jars, lids and rings, canning / sealing wax, plus all other canning and storing supplies. We love dehydrating, and use the jars for that too.

Having a grocery in your backyard isn't just about the plants. It's also about providing animal protein, feathers, cotton, and more....

FARM ANIMALS TO RAISE:
-chickens & quail (meat, fertilizer,.....eggs, feathers, pest-control)
-bees (pollination, honey, wax)
-dogs (protection)
-cats (mousers)
-goats (milk, cheese, fertilizer,.....lawn control)
