Breathtaking Raised Bed Garden FULL of Veg & Flowers (Only 6 Months Old!)

The speaker realized the importance of having flowers in their life after creating a central flower garden about three years after making the vegetable beds in their previous garden.

Growing flowers in the vegetable garden is beneficial because it attracts pollinators and predators of pests, increasing biodiversity and helping improve pollination of plants like beans, peas, courgettes, and squash.

Yes, you can grow flowers with vegetables as companion plants, although in the mentioned garden, the flowers perform a more overall job of attracting pollinators and predators into the garden.

The speaker grows kale primarily for their ducks to eat, as the speaker and their family do not like the taste of kale, even when made into kale chips.

Agastache, part of the mint family with slightly licorice-scented leaves, is important in the garden for attracting pollinators, providing scents and aromas, and evoking memories.

The speaker harvests seeds from plants like fennel to use in the kitchen.

Nasturtiums are edible, and their leaves can be used in salads or stir-fries, flowers can be used to decorate dishes, and their seeds can be pickled and used as an alternative to capers.
