What will be in the garden?

Posted in Outdoor Homesteading

This year, my plans include:

 

Strawberries

Herbs: basil, oregano, sage, bay laurel, cilantro, chives, dill, spearment, rosemary, thyme

Carrots

Onions (yellow - for storage through the winter)

Green onions

Parsnips

Spinach

Tomatoes (sauce tomatoes, fresh salad tomatoes & cherry tomatoes)

Lettuce (some for us and plenty for the ducks, as well)

Peppers (bell peppers to chop & freeze, and one hot pepper plant)

French beans

Pole beans

Dow Gauk (an asian vegetable called the 'yard-long bean' - it's supposed to taste like asparagus)

Zucchini

Pumpkin

Sugar snap peas (the kind you eat in the pod)

Shelling peas (the kind you shell and eat as little round green things)

Broccoli

Corn

Potatoes

Sunflowers

 

I'd like to add a couple of more blueberry bushes, a couple more small apple trees, and a special apricot variety that will grow in this climate, but I think, budget-wise, I may need to wait until next year.

Have you grown bay laurel before? I'd love to hear more about your growing experience with it!
