Well, I don't know about you guys, but I just got done planting over 100 funflowers. Whew, now my back hurts!

Soon I'll be planting some tomatos and beans.

Curious to know what you guys have been planting for your gardens!
 
Let see, I put in lots of flowers in the flower beds. I love flowers. We built raised beds this year and we planted potatoes, onions, sugar peas, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, purple beans and yellow beans, jalopene (sp) peppers, red hot chili peppers, bell peppers, okra, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow squash. I also planted early honeydew but don't think I will have much luck with it.
 
It amazes me that some people still havent put in some of their veggies, I had Peppers, Eggplants and Tomatoes in the ground in April! We have; 2 varieties of Eggplants, 8 or so different varieties of Peppers, 4 different varieties of squash and zucchini, Okra, 8-9 different varieties of Tomatoes, Swish Chard, Corn, 2 varieties of Pumpkins, 2 types of Winter Squash, assorted Gourds, lots of Beans, Cucumbers, 2 varieties of Watermelons and lots of flowers.

Yeah, check out the easygarden.com. There's a whole thread on what people are planting!

Well, you're lucky you live in a warm place! I just planted the tomatoes out and it's a toasty 52F outside and all white/grey skies. The sweetest corn doesn't grow here and if we were lucky, we'd get golf ball sized short season watermelons that would be frozen before the flower falls off! LOL

Summers always late... if it ever gets here, and winter is always early. Snow peas anyone?

I kept it simple and distilled summer to it's purest essence: Corn, beans, tomatoes, watermelons.

If I'm successful at this (my first try) then next year I will expand and do more!
 
This year we've expanded our garden to approximately 30x55. We are working on making it about 50x75 for next year. That will be about our limit until I can afford a tractor.

We've planted:

Sweet corn
Purple hull peas
Snap beans
Okra (2 varieties)
Sweet peas
Tomatos (3 varieties)
Sweet peppers (3 varieties)
Banana peppers
Tabasco peppers
Aconcagua Peppers
Anaheim Peppers (did I mention that we likes peppers)
Yellow squash
Eggplant
Carrots
Onions
Strawberries (in half barrel containers)
Misc. herbs
 
I've given up trying to grow veggies in the ground - the deer eat everything. So, this year I only planted tomatoes and peppers in self-watering containers on the deck. Those are my "must haves".
