We often get asked, “So what do you grow?” The answer changes a bit every year. Basically we go through a seed catalog and grow what looks fun plus the stuff we know we’ll eat.
Earlier this spring we had those early spring things such as beets (upper left), radishes (bottom), and asparagus (upper right). We let some radish bolt because I read that it can deter cucumber beetles. Spring time also brought lots leafy greens.
While it was still a little frosty, we put in potatoes (top) and onions (bottom). We harvested a couple weeks ago and have enjoyed having these staples on hand.
Going clockwise, we also have peppers, squash, volunteer pumpkins, kohlrabi, and peanuts. Of course, we have a plethora of soy for fresh edamame, string beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Fruit-wise, we grew grapes (top), blueberries (bottom), raspberries, blackberries, peaches, and Asian pears. Before you’re too impressed, you should know the birds ate most of the grapes, raspberries were pretty scarce, and we got no nectarines or apples despite having those trees.
We are planning on gardening through the fall with carrots, greens, beans, and peas and other cold tolerant veggies. Pictures coming…promise.
What did you grow this summer? Or what are your plans for a fall garden?
