What vegetables are you planting this year in your garden?

Or, at least, plan to plant?

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Nothing yet.  But I have built a second strawberry box.  A third one is planned.  We have day-neutral strawberries in the first one.  We plan to put June-bearing berries in the 2nd and 3rd boxes.  Obviously they won't do much this year, but we are planning ahead to next year.

I weeded the raspberry canes this week.  The 24 canes we planted last year have increased to 62!.  The new ones won't produce until next year, but the parent canes are obviously happy, so we expect a good crop.  We plan to plant a second row this year.

We are planning to plant some more haskap bushes, to add to the six we already have, and some more black currants (just one right now).

We intend to clear a bit of meadow to make a vegetable garden.  That's going to be a lot of work, which won't pay off until next year.

If I can get all the work done this year, next year should be awesome!

Khang Starr Lemon Starburst. Khang bred them, and set a precedent of only giving the seeds away. I got five seeds as a gift from another pepper grower, and will continue the tradition of sharing them freely. 🙂

We do, but very large trees severely limit the areas that get enough sun for most vegetables. Crop rotation further complicates things, especially when so many are Brassicas.

You reminded me that I forgot the ipsquashes (3 summer types + delicata) and (lemon) cucumber.

I have, and some work while others don't. It depends on how flexible the vines are and how heavy the fruits are. Delicatas climb pretty well (with guidance) even though their fruits are pretty heavy. I've never been able to get the summer squashes to climb.
