Hi Drew,
I will be planting Asparagus beans, yellow pole beans, a no,I-don't-
know-the-name, bean from a German friend (very good),
Chenopodium "Strawberry Sticks", Chenopodium gigantium "
Majentaspreen", Malabar spinach, Baby corn, Tom. Mr. Stripey,
Golden Queen, LongKeeper, Celebrity, Italian Gold, Earlianna,
Better Boy, Pink Ponderosa, Pink cherry and several others. I will
also grow the summer squash Ronde de Nice, Sunburst, Starship.
Growing salad blends, chicories, escarole, endive and many
varieties of lettuce. Joi choi, Mizuna, corn salad, arugula, brunia,
claytonia, crimson plume orach, Minutina, Baby Bok Choi, lemon
cucumber, and New Zealand Spinach and lots and lots of different
basils to stir fry the above.
We have very limited gardening space and all of our beds have
required bringing in loads and loads of soil as we are situated on
the Niagra Escarpment. Thus we container/pot garden where the
sun is and where we can. May not be 100 %, however, it satisfies
the urge to grow what you eat/eat what you grow. *G* This also
satisfies my curiosity.
Good luck,
and remember to water, fertilize, stake, water, fertilize and on and
on.
Piecefully,
Ronnalee, gardening under the Niagra Escarpment, in the woods.
