What's everyone growing this year? I haven't had a garden at all in a few years and am just getting back into it. I threw together a seed starting setup out of leftover 2x4's and plywood from our remodel.

Going to be growing corn, bell peppers, banana peppers, cayenne, jalapenos, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, onions, green beans and cucumbers.

Pics once I get a chance, planning starting all the stuff that needs to be started indoors tomorrow night.

Lettuce, cabbage, and sugar snap peas are already in the ground.
Fighting a battle with slugs over the cabbage, but I think we will prevail. Radishes, carrots, pole beans, tomatoes, and various greens to be planted soon. Still haven't decided on trying peppers again this year, we have not had great luck with them recently.
Almost forgot, we are going to plant an asparagus bed in a few weeks. It will be a couple of years before we get a harvest, but it should produce for 10 -15 years.

No gardening for me until after the long weekend in May. That's the traditional start of planting season in these parts. We could probably get in the ground earlier given what little winter we've had this year but my black thumb needs to stick to the tried and true.

Until then, I'm on clean up and resoil duty, to get the beds ready.

Picked up a bag of fertilizer today for my SFG. Compost just hasn't been doing much for me. I had better yields when I didn't know so much.

I got the seeds started last night that I wanted to (bell peppers, cayenne, jalapenos, banana peppers, tomatoes, onions, lettuce). So now it's waiting time.
