Gee, your garden goes dormant?? Those of us just a few hours south don't ever do that....
Another poke back atcha.
We currently have (20) 4x4 boxes in our raised bed garden. Still have three more to build. Short list of what is in there now - Broccoli , Brussel sprouts, kale, kohl rabi, spinach, carrots, sugar snap peas, english peas, red and yellow beets, bibb lettuce, cabbage, leeks, four types of potatoes and one lone little yellow tomato plant that survived our five nights of hard freezes. Believe it or not, there are three boxes empty. We companion plant almost everything. We have one lone box outside the garden with asparagus and a lone grape vine. We had flooding this past year with Fay and learned some serious lessons on what should be where.
Currently in the seedling stage for our garden: Hawaian Pinapple tomato; Big Boy tomatoes; Victoria tomatoes; Chocolate bell peppers; fatali peppers, okra, eggplant (mixed varities), mixed bell peppers, bulgarian carrot pepper, Jamaican Hot Chocolate peppers, mammoth basil, purple basil, cilantro, and dill. Sweet corn seed is soaking today for planting tonight. Beans will go in next week.
We are working towards having the backyard for production and the front for mostly looks. We have a blueberry hedge with a heirloom bunching onion border and peppermint/spearmint groundcover with a lone surviving tobasco plant on the end. We put strawberries in the flower bed out front because of the ever hungry girls roaming the back yard. We have plantain and banana trees. We also have plans for two more huge raised beds. One will have my variegated lemon, the kefer lime and grape vines with herbs, garlic and standard onions. The second will be a mix of dwarf fruit trees and flowers - my secret garden.
