Square Foot Gardening

planting winter crops beside peas?

14 years ago

Hi,

I was thinking about planting some winter brocolli beside my peas. I have a row of peas in 2 squares (4 per square, only 1 row instead of 2x4). How many inches away from the peas could I safely plant brocolli seeds that will mature this coming winter?

Not sure where you are, but considering Summer is not quite here yet, you are probably too early. Yes you can eventually plant winter broccoli in August no problem. I did it well last year until the raccoons got them, hehe.

Good luck
