What’s in your garden? Print E-mail
Written by foodie pam

ImageSpring 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?
