Introduction

Hello veggie-list,

My name is Tom and I live in Massacusetts in zone 5/6 (border).  For the
past 4 years I have grown peaches, tomatoes, and last year had great
success with green peppers.

My garden has been small by most standards 6'x8', but this season I am
adding another 10'x12' plot and expanding my crop choices.  Both plots
are FULL sun, all day long.

This year I plan to grow;

        * Lettuce (in the garden early April 14th)
        * Yellow Beans
        Tomatos
        Green Peppers
        * Yellow Onions

   ( * = never grown before)

I always have a dwarf fruit tree (peach currently) and blackberries on
the fence. 

I will be looking for tips and tricks to growing lettuce, yellow snap
bush beans and yellow onions.  While trying to improve my skills with
tomatos and green peppers.

Last year I had a bumper crop of green peppers and this is the trick I
used.  Peppers love sulfur, and I had been told to place a wooden
kitchen match under each seedling when planting.  Having sulfur spray
for my fruit tree, instead of using a match, I mixed up a gallon of
sulfur spray and watered in my 6 plants with that.  They LOVED it and
those 6 plants kept a family of 4 in green peppers through the season
and we still have some in the freezer.

I don't have a lot of land, but I try to make what I have as productive
as possible.

Thanks in advance.
