Anybody made decisions on what they'll be growing this year?
I've started my list. And, as usual, there's too many seeds and not enough land. But here's what I have in mind so far:
Greens: Arugala, Black Kale, Mesclun Mix.
Peas: One trellis each English and Snow; one of Sugar Pea (a cowpea).
Tomatoes: DePinto (a full row, to produce enough for canning); Brandt's Old German Pink; an as yet to be determined cherry for Friend Wife.
Potatoes: A new purple variety I'm trialing.
Squash: The South African white pumpkin I finally found seed for; yellow crookneck.
Peppers: Boldogi Spice; Sweet Apple; Cubanelle; Aji Colorado.
Eggplant: Round Mauve (which I'll grow in containers, hopefully deterring the flea beetles).
Cucumber: Snow's Fancy.
Leeks: Prizetaker.
Onions: No bulbing onions this year. But I'll be planting onion sets for scallions.
Beans: No hard decision, yet. I'll grow at least three or four varieties. I've been promised seed for a Cherokee variety that comes right from the reservation. If that arrives, it will be one of them for sure. And probably Red Striped Greasy, which is our usual main-crop.
