In pots I have some coriander, chives and parsley and mint.

Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes.
Every type of green and lettuce I could find seeds for:
Romaine, chard, kale, mache, spinach, leaf lettuces, cabbage, etc.
Zucchini, which doubles with fried blossom fritters.
Winter squash, pickle cucumbers, melons.
Leeks, onions, shallots, 8 varieties of garlic.
Asparagus, peas, italian green beans, black beans.
Carrots, parsnip, salsify, jerusalem artichoke, parsley root, beets, rutabaga.
Not in the garden but added to each year: Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, plums, sour cherries, apples, pears, persimmons.
In their own garden- loads of herbs, easier to list what isn't there, lol!
I just began a small garden on the east side of house with morning sun for more greens. I tried this a few years back and had spinach and baby lettuces and radishes all summer. As long as you keep picking when small they don't bolt or go bitter.

Grows great in cool weather!I have all of that lovechooks has, plus all the warm stuff planted and coming up a bit--squash, cukes, melons, tomatoes. The potatoes are giving me the best year yet!! Only about 1 dozen potato beetles in 70 lb planted! They are sprawling and growing so large that I think one more quick hoeing and then they will cover their own aisles

Lots of tomatoes -6 or 7 kinds that I know of plus some mystery plants that volunteered all over the yard. It'll be interesting to see what those are. Lettuce, chard, cukes - 3 varieties, yellow squash, a sugar baby watermelon, asparagus - just started, various herbs, red and white onions, various peppers sweet and hot, radishes, carrots somewhere, bush and pole beans that are not thriving, and a bunch of weeds. Oh, and broccoli that is finished and will be replaced with cabbage.
That's a lot of potatoes! What do you use to fertilize them?me&thegals said:The potatoes are giving me the best year yet!! Only about 1 dozen potato beetles in 70 lb planted! They are sprawling and growing so large that I think one more quick hoeing and then they will cover their own aisles

In the backyard, I have tomatoes (sweet cherry), kennebec taters, beauregard sweet taters, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, beans (yellow, green and pole), strawberries (next year), raspberries, lavender, sage, cucumbers, two serviceberry trees and a native plum. In the front, I have watermelon, canteloupe, onions, strawberries (next year), raspberries, blackberries, brussel sprouts, romaine, carrots, mesclun, 2 native plums, mint (potted, chocolate), oregano, chives, and whatever else I plant there in the future. I have about 1/2 my front yard as planting beds and am working on a very informal level. I'm following the cram method. Cram as much as you can where you can. The plants that are picky about who they are next to get put in certain areas and the rest are spread around, any gaps are filled as soon as I have a free seedling. Oh, I also have sunflowers in both front and back yards.

Well, thats the tricky part. There isn't a place in my yard that doesn't get a ton of sun almost all day. Only really close around the house and the chickens have claimed that area. I do have areas in the fringe forest, but lots of wild creatures too. I doubt it'd survive there unless I planted a TON.Dace said:
I do have some in a container that is shaded by several other plants, those are doing well. Actually, its the same container I planted last year and harvested all the way through winter. The plants never got more than 10" tall, and I picked several salads off them. I guess I should rig up a shade for the ones in the ground, but I'm gonna try chard too.
