4/23/2010 - "What shall I grow?" is always the question rolling around in my head....here are my thoughts thus far but we will see how it shakes out. I am also listing what I plan to do with each. This is a long list and most things will be a one plant deal to try out except for things that I have really specific plans for like peppers and tomatoes. I am disappointed though - I can't grow corn! What is a garden without corn?? It is part of the guidelines of the community garden. They do have a long row on the back of the garden that they will be planting corn, so I hope it will do well and I can get some. I also won't be able to grow watermelon or cantaloupe again because of the garden guidelines. But again they said I could have a couple of mounds to plant these apart from my plots. They sprawl too much and may be a problem for other folks plots.
Planted already:
- Romaine Lettuce
- Bibb Lettuce
- Carrots - duds! May try growing at home in containers?
- Okra - pickles!
- Green Bell Peppers - family loves munching on these and will also vacuum pack/freeze
- Red Bell Peppers - same as green
To be planted?
- Pickle Cucumbers - pickles!
- Slicing Cucumbers - salads
- Jalapeno Peppers - pickles and stuffed peppers
- Poblano Peppers - chile rellenos!!!
- Crook-Neck Summer Squash - eat fresh, sauteed, casseroles, freeze?
- Patty Pan Summer Squash - sauteed
- Zucchini - freeze
- Courgette Bambino Zucchini - sauteed
- Cherry or Grape Tomatoes - eat like jelly beans!, salads
- Roma Tomatoes - paste, sauces, salads
- Beef Steak, Brandywine, and/or Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes - stewed (plain and Italian), sauce, juice - canned
- Yellow/Orange Tomatoes - sandwiches, munching
- Cantaloupe
- Watermelon
I am sure this is much too ambitious. We will see what actually makes the cut. :-)
