These varieties are particularly good

Salads and other leafy vegetables

Salads can be classified into two groups: lettuce, lettuce and cut salads belong to the lettuce genus. They are mainly sown or sown in early spring to summer. planted. Typical autumn salads, on the other hand, are endive and radicchio, which, like sugar loaf and chicory, are classed as chicories. Salads have a medium nutritional requirement and should not be planted on freshly layered raised beds - due to the high nutrient supply, they form harmful nitrates. Other worthwhile leafy vegetables that can also be stewed or roasted are Asian salads such as mizuna or pak choi. Lamb's lettuce, winter mail, as well as spinach and Swiss chard are uncomplicated, insensitive and can be cultivated at almost any time of the year.

Tuber and root vegetables

Most of the tuber and root vegetables also have a rather moderate nutritional requirement. However, they can be cultivated easily and harmonize with many other vegetables. Therefore, carrots, parsnips, root parsley, radishes, kohlrabi and beetroot belong in every raised bed - you basically can't go wrong with these vegetables. Those who like the taste can also plant celery, fennel and radish. Incidentally, celery is one of the strong eaters and needs a lot of nutrients.

Protein-rich legumes

Legumes have very low nutritional requirements, are easy to cultivate and always bring a rich harvest. Tender snow peas or sweet peas are sown from April and are great to socialize with kohlrabi, lettuce, radish, radishes, fennel, carrots, parsnips and root parsley. In contrast to rod or Fire beans French beans grow lower and are therefore ideal for raised beds. They also don't need as much warmth as their looping relatives. Beans are sown directly into the bed between May and July and go perfectly with lettuce, strawberries, cabbage, Swiss chard, radishes, beetroot and tomatoes.

Tomatoes and other fruit vegetables

To the fruit vegetables belong tomatoes, Peppers, chili peppers, aubergines, Cucumber, Zucchini, pumpkin and melons. They all have a very high nutritional requirement and therefore feel particularly comfortable on a freshly layered raised bed. However, these plants become very large - and therefore need both space and often a climbing aid - and are also very sensitive. Fruit vegetables love sun and warmth, and a location protected from rain and drafts makes sense. You should never sow these vegetables directly, but only put previously grown plants in the bed.

Leeks and onions

Onions, shallots, garlic and leeks are indispensable in every kitchen - so they should definitely not be missing on the raised vegetable bed. You can sow onions directly in the bed, but it is easier to cultivate them with onions. Garlic is best put in the raised bed in October or February / March. The toes must be about two inches deep in the ground. Leek is available in various summer and winter varieties that can be cultivated all year round.

Cabbage

Almost all types and varieties of cabbage have high nutritional requirements. Both white and red cabbage, kale and broccoli (head and sprout broccoli), cauliflower and romanesco can be grown wonderfully in the raised bed. There are also different varieties here, each of which is particularly suitable for growing in spring, summer or autumn. Varieties planted at the wrong time of the year tend to shoot up quickly.
