a normal garden year for us means the following are usually being planted or nurtured towards production:

weeds,
strawberries,
garlic (including green garlic yum),
onions,
cucumbers,
dill,
tomatoes,
beans (as many as i can grow, fresh eating, shellies and dried),
peas (not sure how many i grow now, for pods, fresh eating shellies and dried),
peppers (green and red),
squash.

soil conditioners, worm food and bee food:
turnips (i eat a few of these once in a while),
radishes (i like the sprouts),
buckwheat,
cosmos,
many perennial plants... (most of these are deer and bunny food).

herbs, etc:

mints, thymes, chives. we've actually been getting rid of mints because of Mom's reactiveness to them so now most of those we have left are just growing in the last grassy areas we still mow.

this past year i got some bunching onions and am learning about them so i hope to be harvesting some of those this coming spring.

i also have some small melon seeds a friend from TEG gave me so i will try those out this coming season. supposedly a short enough season melon to work for us.

we used to grow beets but have gotten out of those because the main consumer of them no longer can eat them (we pickled them).
