    Default What are you planting this year?

    The girls and I just came in from planting our summer garden. I was wondering what others have already put in, or decided to put in depending on your location?

    This year in the garden we are going to *try* to grow (lets hope we don't have a repeat of last summer's weather):

    Spring Garden
    ~ lettuce, several varieties (currently harvesting)
    ~ spinach (getting close)
    ~ broccoli
    ~ onions

    Summer Garden
    ~ slicing cucumbers
    ~ tomatoes (roma & slicing varieties)
    ~ green bell peppers
    ~ butternut squash
    ~ yellow squash
    ~ zuchinni
    ~ pole beans
    ~ bush beans
    ~ black beans
    ~ cantaloupe
    ~ pie pumpkin

    Also have blueberry bushes, blackberry bushes and raspberry bushes.

    we're planting tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in some pots - we're renting right now and looking for a house. I would love to grow different types of berries next year if we have a house. Where can you find berry seeds? i don't see them around. maybe tractor supply? Are they hard to get them to grow? I'd really like to grow blueberries - they're sooooo expensive around here!!

    Hubby's garden is too long to list. He has 140 varieties of heirloom tomatoes started... if that's any clue.

    Without being too specific we have:
    ~Paste tomatoes, salad tomatoes, canning tomatoes and cherry tomatoes of all different colors and flavors ranging from white to black and red to yellow.
    ~Corn; sweet corn, indian popcorn and field corn
    ~Potatoes: yellow, red bliss, white and blue
    ~Peas; sugar snap, sweet and field peas
    ~Cabbage
    ~Herbs; comfrey, several varieties of basil, lemon balm, chives, 10 varieties of garlic, oregano, sage
    ~Huckleberries, sunberries (in addition to existing black raspberries, blackberries, mulberries and gooseberries)

    That's all I can think of that he has going right now in various stages. We'll add more later; as other things mature, we rotate them
