Other than the peas and daikon which I planted in April, I have started direct sowing seeds this weekend!

The following is a list of what we have planted so far and what is yet to go out.

Non-beans in raised beds

  • One 8’ x 4’ bed entirely full of rainbow carrots.
  • Some variety of waxy yellow potato we’ve been replanting year after year.
  • Noche zucchini (3 plants)
  • Raven zucchini (3 plants)
  • Cocozelle zucchini (3 plants)

Beans/Peas in raised beds

  • Dwarf Grey sugar snap peas (? plants)
  • Alderman (or Tall Telephone) shelling peas (? plants)
  • Alaska split peas (? plants)
  • Contender bush beans (9 plants)
  • Royal Burgundy bush beans (9 plants)
  • Tendergreen bush beans ( 18 plants)
  • Stringless Green Pod bush beans (18 plants)
  • Blue Lake bush beans (6 plants)
  • Maxibel Green Beans (6 plants)
  • Vermont Cranberry bush bean (10 plants)

  • Royal Burgundy pole beans (9 plants)
  • Purple Peacock pole beans (9 plants)
  • Scarlet runner pole beans (9 plants)

Non beans in non-raised beds

  • Garlic (can’t get more specific than that, it’s a mix of whatever was left over)
  • Daikon, used as a cover crop/soil amendment.

Started inside, waiting for the heat

  • Some variety of sweet potato, started the slips in soil in like, January?
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Baby Belle sweet peppers
  • Scorpion hot peppers
  • Lilac sweet peppers
  • Carrot Bomb hot peppers
  • A fuck tonne of tomatoes that my husband labeled with silly names instead of their actual varieties but I think some of them are: Belgian Heart, Roma, Heinz, Costoluti Genovese, Better Boy VFN, Cornue des Andes
  • Lemon Sunshine cannabis
  • Gorilla Grape cannabis (auto)
  • Northern Lights cannabis (auto)

Still to come:

  • I want to start some pole beans indoors to grow on the front lawn around the frame of a disused “greenhouse” (cheap shelving unit that had a plastic cover - which we never really used).
  • 3 Sisters. I don’t recall the corn varieties we have, but we will get those started outdoors soon. I should start the melons and winter squash inside, a bit later on that than I wanted. We’ll pick some pole beans to go along in there too.
  • I have more baking beans that I could plant: pinto, jacobs cattle, chickpeas…and others than I am forgetting.
  • I will probably get some greens going, but largely to donate to a local animal rescue. I need to get some starts going for them too.
  • Herbs, will start some inside soon. Cilantro and Thai Basil are the top of my list.
  • Beets and radishes, I don’t really love them but I should give them another go.
