So, what are you planting this year? - Page 5

That's more than impressive, Darryl.
I see a couple of my favorites there.

In my cold climate "glacier" starts early and ends late. It seems like there are always a couple of snack-sized tomatoes ready.

Thanks for sharing.

More like "half a list". That is about half the varieties and half the plants I am growing this year. Why so many? I have a ton of tomato seed that are 10 years old and at the very edge of able to grow. I'm renewing as many varieties as possible. I also purchased some seed this year to bring fresh seed in for varieties that are easily bought from a few sellers.

The bees are now feasting on the collards and kale from the fall. Planted garlic in the fall also. Onions and Broccoli in early spring. Lettuce, Arugula and Spinach in containers in the fall.
