Don’t know how I missed this one. But since it is getting close to planting the garden, I thought I would let you know what we plant. We only have a small backyard garden with two areas of flower beds also where we plant veggies. We plant green beans, butter beans, tomatoes, summer squash, lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, cherry tomatoes, red and green peppers and eggplant. That pretty much fills up our space. We don’t have chickens or anything. So have to depend on store for a lot of things. Though this year I want to try planting celery to see what happens. We are no longer planting winter crops as neither hubby nor I can handle the cold long enough to care for it. I am going to figure out a place to plant carrots and potatoes as well as onions this year but got to figure out our small space to see what we can do. As far as veggies I don’t buy much from stores. But this year I do want to hit the farm markets for corn, and other things. We used to have a huge garden next to hubby’s cousin’s farmers market but a 7-eleven sits on that spot now. It was nice while we had the use of that land though. We planted a lot in that space.
