Crop Rotation Planting Beds:
|
|
|
Okra
- Okra is a warm weather plant that needs lots of water.
Plant in rows with a trench in the middle to collect water.
- Plant lettuce around your okra plants and they will
shade the lettuce in the summer giving you some more growing time
|
Eggplants
- Mulch during the heat of the summer to prevent wilt
disease.
- Plant with
Bush Beans to repel the Colorado potato beetle which like to munch on eggplant.
|
Peppers, Bell
- Okra plants will act as a wind break for the brittle
pepper plants
- They love the heat of summer but they also seem to like
humidity which we don't have in Lubbock. Plant them close together to keep them happy.
