There’s squash, luffah, Armenian cukes and a jalapeño also. The tomatoes are a Texas cherry something and San Marzano for canning sauce. I’m going to start some green beans, Thai chilies didn’t go so those, marjoram to plant under the lemon tree and whatever else looks interesting that I might be able to fit in the garden. Already in the garden are artichokes, a poblano, carrots, garlic, lettuce and broccoli. I tried a bush type pickling cucumber but it has probably been too cold so they didn’t sprout. Armenian cukes have a slight melon flavor, I like to chop them up and mix with various melons in a fruit salad or it’s good in place of watermelon in a melon salsa because it’s less sweet.

We've raised the Armenian dukes before...they're really good...I might have to plant some this year too, I like the creative way you use them. I also want to plant some artichokes. Broccoli doesn't do well here...it always gets infested with aphids & I can't use it...I don't need the extra protein...

I can usually grow all year except summer. Sometimes it gets warm pretty early in the year though so being able to get a jumpstart on things is helpful. Also, I can do the same in late summer for a fall garden before planting cold season things like the lettuce, brassicas, etc a little later. I have hoops for row covers but I wasn’t well prepared for gardening this year so it’s all a bit haphazard right now. I just couldn’t wait to get my hands in the dirt.

That's great that the heat doesn't completely shut you down. We didn't get our garden completely cleaned up last fall, I have to admit that isn't unusual...we will be hitting it hard just before we get ready to put stuff in the ground again. Hopefully our kitchen is finished by that time!
