Mostly dreaming at this stage. We have garlic in, and we know where the tomatoes are going this year. Aside from that we are still up in the air. We're still close to 5 months out from last frost, so a little while for us yet.

What kind of sweet potatoes are you using? Is there a short season variety?

Started planning last week actually!

I have some seeds that I harvested from last years garden (corn, tomatoes, jalepenos) and am hoping I did ok and seeds will sprout.

Our space is limited as we garden on an urban terrace so planning is key. We are going to add several more self watering containers.

So far planning on:

Tomatoes (4 varieties)

Zuccinni

Container Corn

Peppers

*Jalepenos

*possibly Shoshito

Eggplant

Peas

Green beans

Pickle Cucumbers

Arugula in the spring, Kale in the fall

Herbs

*Basil

*parsley

*sage

*thyme

*oregano

*rosemary

*lavender

*mint

And in a complete long shot experimentation...... 1 giant pumpkin grown in a bag.

(I have an unhealthy obsession with the Peanuts)
