We brainstormed up a list of what we’d like to grow in the garden this summer. Here’s the start of it:
- Blueberries, new addition
- Rosa rugosa, new addition
- Basil
- Perfecta Detroit beets
- Brocolli
- Pole beans
- Edamame
- Melon of some sort maybe
- Eggplant, 2 kinds
- Pickling cucumbers, perhaps
- Mesclun
- Greens, maybe Swiss Chard
- Kale
- Sugar peas
- Red peppers of the sweet variety
- Ancho peppers
- Pumpkins, sweet
- Yellow squash
- Zucchini
- Winter squash, acorn or butternut
- Tomatoes, including Amish paste and Brandywine
- Sunflowers
The above would be in addition to the already established black raspberries, asparagus, mint, oregano, thyme, and rhubarb.
Yes, the list looks like a lot, but it’s actually about how much variety we usually grow. I’m excited about the prospect of trying to grow more of our own food. What are we forgetting?
