With all the rain, finding time to work in the garden has been challenging. At this point, we’re to the point that almost everything is planted – at least for the first round. I still have room for eight or twelve more rows of something. Here’s a quick list of what’s growing this year:
Beets
Blackberries (One wild and one domesticated variety)
Blueberries
Broccoli
Butternut Squash
Cantaloupe
Carrots
Cucumbers
Dry Beans
Dry Onions (Red, Yellow, and White)
Eggplant
Green Beans
Green Onions
Green Peppers
Lettuce (Head and Leaf)
Ornamental Corn
Peas
Potatoes (Norland, Pontiac, Yukon Gold, Kennebec, and Russets)
Pumpkins (Connecticut Field, Big Max, and Musquee de Provence)
Raspberries (Black, Red, and Yellow)
Spinach
Strawberries
Summer Squash
Tomatoes (Super Sauce)
Watermellon
Zucchini
I think that covers all of it. Most of the berry plants were planted this spring with the exception of the red raspberries and strawberries. So, while there will be plenty of red raspberries and strawberries to pick this year, we’ll have to wait another year or two to enjoy the other berry plants.
