What are you planning to plant?

My DH is supposed to be enlarging my garden and repairing my fence. I hope so because so far I have ordered.
6 different kinds of Heirloom tomatoes
ground cherries
green bush beans
purple pole beans
Chinese red noodle beans
2 kinds of lettuce
3 kinds of Heirloom cucs
2 kinds of pumpkins
corn
butternut squash
zucchini
onions
leaks
garlic is planted
3 kinds of potatoes
hubbard squash
purple carrots
turnips
rasberries
strawberries
and a few new fruit and nut trees if I can figure out where the heck to put them.

I recommended the wrong book,but the other one is good. This is the one I meant to write:


Author: Pleasant, Barbara.

I got my garden fenced yesterday. I can start looking at planting stuff. Yay.

I'll be doing peas and spinach and kale until it warms up a bit.

chicory and tomatoes and beans and peppers from Damummis (thankyou!)

eggplant, garlic, onions, and shallots

Maybe 1 zucchini plant.

I don't have a lot of space: 2 plots of about 5x10 so I need to keep from going crazy.

I'm gonna try radishes and carrots but don't have much hope. Even with doubledigging and the compost added, the soil here is pretty clay-like. So I don't know how well it'll work. We'll see.

Have you tried carrots?
You would need to start them very early, but they love sandy soil.

Carrots were fabulous the first couple of years but didn't do well after that.

I say it sounds like depleted soil.
With it being sandy you are losing the fertility of the soil faster then if it were less porus.

I add compost every year. It's a mix of kitchen scraps, chicken poo/pine shavings, and rotted oak leaves.
