Tomatoes, peppers, carrots radishes, beans, parsley, cukes, zukes, yeller squash, celery, basil, spinach and onions. Decided not to do potatoes this year which I am sure I will regret come the 4th of July camp fire when I dont have any home grown spuds to roast! Oh well.
Tips-Peat moss, compost, ashes, compost, water, compost. Oh and you cant forget compost and compost.

Planting the usual. Ben eating Asparagus for 2 weeks kind of sick of it now.Well worth the effort. I go with all heirloom tomatoes, ugly but the best flavor. I don't put any heat loving plants in before Memorial day. I've found they don't do much till at least then because of the soil temp. and you can run in to root rot if you get too much cold rain. I start all my own seeds indoors so I put pretty big seedlings in so I am along pretty far as soon as planting time comes. Bumin' because I have lost a lot of my blueberry buds to the damn winter moth catapillers. I will have to spray much sooner next year. Compost everything, all kitchen scraps and leaves and some grass. The best soil amendment available. Most town dumps offer it for free nowadays. P

Actually this is all in a fairly small garden. Its amazing if you plan it right and spend a just few minutes everyday how much you can reap from a small area. Also once things start growing make sure you pick what is ready every day or two. The plants will produce much more this way. |

Tomatoes I started indoors and and beans went in a couple weeks ago. I also tried beets this year which are going ganbusters all of a sudden, and onions from seed. I left room because I'll get some hot peppers (the last garden ingredient for salsa) and I want to start asparagus, just haven't found any anywhere. I also have horseradish, rosemary, oregano, chives and strawberries.
Not much to prep, I just turn it over, throwing in a few shovel fulls of peat. I also add the ash from my chiminea and anytime I find a dead potted plant in a healthy dirt/vermiculite misxure, I throw that in. I don't use any spray or pesticides, but I'll pay the neighborhood kids for toads and top dollar for a praying mantis.
