I'm starting to make a list of what to plant this year. Time to cut back on the number of things I grow. I pack too much in and things don't do as well as they could. So here's my list:
In order of preference:
garlic
potatoes
lettuce
summer squash: zucchini and yellow patty pan
onions
soybeans*
broccoli*
beets
carrots
tomatoes*
butternut squash
sweet potatoes
parsley, cilantro, dill*
cucumbers (max 3 varieties)*
bok choy
peppers/chiles**
eggplant**
leeks
celeriac
kale*
peas*
beans*
radicchio
escarole and frisee
pumpkins: maximum 3 plants: Jarrahdale and New England Pie
sunflowers
nasturtiums
zinnias
Tomatoes: Try the new color cages (purple?) and grow them with lots of space
*does well in my slightly shady home garden
** does well in my very warm and sheltered cold frame
well maybe 4 pumpkins...
No corn,
