  1. That's quite the collection. (I see you like radishes too.) Should keep you busy for the season. I don't see beets on the list. You probably have seed from last year for those.

  2. Hi Richard,
    Well, no one but me likes them and since I can always get them fresh at the farmers market I have opted to not plant them this year just like potatoes. Sometimes its better to let someone else use their space and then that allows me more space for something else - this year it might be the melons.

  3. HI Dave...Guess I'm surprised about the beets also. What about carrots?Also edamame...I would have thought they would be on your list? I tried edamame last year & had very poor germination; I am going to try them again this year. Have you grown them? Any suggestions? I see you only have pole beans...is that because of a space issue or do you have a preference?

  4. Good morning CCL,
    I have horrible germination with direct seeded carrots so.... I have tried transplanting the stubby kinds last season with some success but my ground is too heavy for nice ones - a "let someone else grow them" farmers market item. Edamame, I have tired, bunnies will eat every one they can get, and just do not have the space for a crop the size to freeze for winter use. Pole beans are for space and because I do not like picking bush beans. Plus we really like the flavor and the freeze-ability of this bean.
    Happy Gardening
