 Spring is here and my garden, or at least much of it, is in. I’m trying out a couple of new things this year and a bunch of favorites… Here's what I'm growing. What are you growing? My new additions: - Cherry Tomatoes: I have a mild addiction to these lately as a raw, mid-day, munching snack and can’t wait for my own to appear.
- Yellow Crookneck Squash: I had some of this from the farmer’s market last year that were a bit sweeter than zucchini – we’ll see how mine turn out.
- Acorn and Hubbard Winter Squash: Each year I’ve been trying different varieties. The Hubbard, at ~4lb a squash, is a miniature! (Full size can be 10-15 pounds each…).
- Edamame: These are for Husband but if they do well I could be converted…
- Jalapeños: I have bad luck with peppers but I’m giving them a try. They won’t go in the ground until late May or early June when it should be plenty warm for them.
As for the yearly favorites I’m growing: Roma tomatoes for ketchup and pasta sauce along with fantastic beef steak tomatoes for eating. Zucchini, if for no other reason than to make Ginger-Zucchini Cupcakes for my friend Athena. Cucumbers, green beans, peppers, eggplant and the fall planted garlic and onions…. What are you growing?
