This interplanting has worked well so far this year: Clumps of green onions, three plants in each clump, clumps five inches apart, in rows on either side of a single row of kale. The kale plants, about two feet apart down the centre of the three-foot-wide bed, will easily take up all the space in the bed by late summer. The green onions will be harvested well before that happens, over the next four weeks or so. Over the years I’ve learnt to give kale plants plenty of space, and this combination may be one way to give them the room they prefer while simultaneously making efficient use of bed space early in the kale plants’ lives.
