Growing strawberries for the first time! What are you growing for the first time?

Good luck!! I tried luffa seeds but once they germinated and I planted them, nothing.

It’s still early here in MA. I bought some fertilizer and I’m going to reduce them this week. I am better at sowing outside but celery needs a long season and cool crops need started indoors here.

Love to hear what everyone is growing. First time planting Lima beans, my hubby loves them. Also trying garlic. Everything else is my usual. Tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas,and spinach. Want to try luffa sometime, maybe next year. Don't plant green and yellow beans or squash. They grow those on the farm next to us so I get as much as I need from them. So nice to have good neighbors!

I'm growing Purple Coneflower and New England Aster for my honey bees. Those bloom late summer/early fall, when not much else is in bloom and the bees are still hungry.

I'm growing nasturtium for the first time this year!

We're also trying two new varieties of tomato (buffalo sun hybrid and tigerella) and broccoli for the first time. Oh, and a variety of basil we haven't tried before, emerald towers. Last year I had basil sprouting out of the cracks in my patio but every time we got close to having enough to harvest it got struck by downy mildew.

I tried luffa seeds but haven't had luck. Besides that and strawberries, everything else is my normal! Onions, peppers, thyme, and rosemary! I want to try garlic one day. I'll be planting marigolds and sunflowers today, probably!

Noticed my first baby strawberry the other day. I'm so excited! What are you attempting to grow for the first time this year?View attachment 3781965

We are growing Amaranth, agastache, and radishes for the first time. But, perhaps, the most unusual think is snake beans - which is actually a gourd.

I will be starting all my seeds inside this week. But hopefully in 3-4 weeks they will be ready to go outside and the weather will be nice enough for that

Last year I had 4 luffa plants in the garden, and a late frost killed 3. I got 1 (ONE!!) luffa out of the whole experiment.

I'm trying again, because, well, why not?

Daikon radishes and opium poppies are new to me this year.
