Brassicas are a diverse family of crops, and there are quite a few types that I want to grow, including kale, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, turnip, kohlrabi, rocket, mustard greens, etc. In smaller gardens it can be a challenge to fit them all in, especially when trying to maintain a form of crop rotation that will isolate all the brassica related crops into one section of the garden.
This season was generally a successful year for the larger brassica crops in 4 of the family scale gardens, but the places where some plants didn’t do so well were useful opportunities to learn.
