One Yard Revolution: Food Growing Like Weeds

Growing perennials and annual crops that easily reseed themselves gives us a garden bed full of crops that grow just like weeds. We use open pollinated seeds for best results.

Here’s what’s growing in the bed:

Perennials:

chives
dandelion
Egyptian walking onions
garlic chives
red veined sorrel
sage
salad burnet

Annuals:

arugula
claytonia
collards
giant red mustards
kale
leaf lettuce
mache
mustard greens
parsley
radicchio
red orach
spinach

OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
