Vegetables: The List

Source

My seeds come from all kinds of places and several are years old now. While I try to choose organic and heirloom varieties I will be honest that I also buy what is on sale. These are for sure what are in my seed box right now to be planted this gardening season.

The List:

Old Favorites:

Radish (Watermelon, Cherry Belle, Icicle)

Lettuce (Iceberg, Romaine, and several other kinds)

Spinach

Beet (Chioggia, Detroit Dark Red)

Turnips

Scallions

Eggplant

Peas (Sugar Snap)

Carrots (Long Imperator #58)

Beans (Bush several varieties)

Tomatoes (Roma)

Cucumbers

Winter Squash (Early Acorn)

Squash (Summer)

Bell Peppers (mixed)

Corn (multiple kinds)

Cabbage

Potatoes

New for 2011:

Pumpkins

Kohlrabi

Butternut Squash (Waltham)

Leeks

Arugula

Mustard (Southern Giant Curled)

Tomato (Cherokee Purple)

Watermelons (my stepson's request)

Swiss Chard (Rainbow Mix)

Pumpkin

Kale

I am sure there are more to be added to this list. I would like to try a snow pea or shelling pea. Perhaps some new varieties of eggplant and in the fall garlic. Perhaps add to my current berry bushes with strawberries, blueberries, and a variety of cranberry bushes. Of course there will be my herb garden and with any luck I may have a few asparagus spears to enjoy. I am brainstorming ways to try the Indian Three Sisters planting method to save space, improve the soil, and give Gary what he loves: CORN.

Seeds are a weakness for me. The prospect of what they will become... I am not tempted to buy a CD or movie or even clothing but a seed packet?!? Every time...

Progress on the greenhouse has been halted by a freak snow storm. I guess it is still February...
