The growing management system optimizes peak aggregate nutrients for individual edible plants including vegetables, and herbs such that the individual edible plants are organized into a blend such that the aggregate of the individual edible plants are grown in a blend and that growing parameters including the use of seed coatings shift the occurrence of each of the individual edible plants peak nutrients to occur concurrently to maximize overall nutrient delivery. It is understood that nutrient and flavor peaks can be used interchangeably.
