WooHoo! We finally have (most) everything in the ground (or pots or bins). There is still space for a few dozen more plants. We’ll either use that for something we haven’t tried yet or use it for 2nd crops later in the summer.

Here’s is what we are anticipating:

On the front porch (in pots and bins):

  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Rosemary
  • Echinacia
  • Basil
  • Peppermint
  • Dill
  • Nasturtium
  • Garlic

In the garden:

  • Sweet Corn
  • (Sunset Runner) Beans
  • Kale
  • Broccoli
  • Snow Peas
  • Snap Peas
  • Carrots
  • Cucumbers (several varieties)
  • Radishes
  • Peppers (several varieties)
  • Beets
  • Jalapenos
  • Onions (green, white and yellow)
  • Cabbage (several varieties)
  • Sage
  • Lettuce (several varieties)
  • Arugula
  • Cilantro
  • Romaine
  • Cauliflower
  • Celery
  • Calendula
  • Lemon Balm
  • Tomatoes (several varieties in 10 bins)
  • Watermelon
  • Pumpkins (2 varieties)
  • Cantalope
  • Black Oil Sunflowers

Last year, we were tentative – not knowing what would be successful and what wouldn’t so we only planted about a 1/3rd of the available space. This year, with last years surprising success, we mostly filled it out but are still not sure if it will all thrive. Like everything here, we are learning as we go.

Now, we need to develop our “canning” skills. Hopefully, we’ll be extremely busy come this fall.
