gardening planting

Hello everyone,

Here in Zone 7 I have finally planted my veggie garden.  Last weekend I set
out the tomato, squash, okra and pepper plants that I had started in my
greenhouse.  I also set out various herbs.  Then I planted lots of seeds --
radishes, lettuce, green beans, cucumbers, etc.

This year I am trying a new bean from Cook's Garden called Dragon Tongue.  
Have any of you tried this variety?  I am also attempting to grow radicchio
(spell?) and valeria (variety of lettuce) for the first time (seeds also from
Cook's Garden).

The other new items in the garden are two varieties of soybeans:  
"butterbean" and "envy".  I plan to use them as "edamame" in which they are
cooked very young in the shell and then you drag them between your teeth and
press out the little beans but don't eat the shell.  This is described in
Johnny's Seed Catalog.

My early crops did not make it into the garden this year, so I am envious of
Pat's early harvest!  Maybe next year.
