Functional Gardening on the Gulf Coast | Collards Almost Ready | Building a System Later in Life

Today I’m walking you through my full functional gardening system here on the Gulf Coast. In the raised beds: • Collards (almost ready to harvest) • Garlic • Turnips or beets (depending on the bed) • Cut-and-come-again greens (still young and establishing) • Flowers for pollinators and balance In the grow bags: • Cut-and-come-again greens • Red onions • Purple top turnips • A pivot from stalled cabbage Plus vertical systems: • Sugar peas gripping the trellis • Cucumbers preparing to grow upward • Dill, basil, marigolds, and flowers as companions This is intentional gardening. This is production. This is Gulf Coast functional gardening — later in life.
