a couple of different types of hot peppers (DH's department)
Watermellon
Pumpkin
Brown Crowder Peas
Purple Hull Peas
Still have 2 rows of peas to plant with Mississippi Silver Crowder Peas. (waiting on seed to arrive)

Wonder if that Dial Soap trick will work with rabbits
I can't keep them out of my garden.
Dial soap also works on mosquito bites. I keep a bar of Dial on my kitchen counter top. If I get bit I just rub the bar of soap over the bite. In just a few minutes the itching stops and in a few hours the bite disappears.

This year I planted giant pumpkins, watermelon, corn, cantalope (sp?), honeydew, tomatos, bell pepper, and cucumber. I got my garden ready too late for lettuce and carrots - so those will be the late summer planting.

I also planted a mixed greens variety in the duck/goose enclosure and I will plant some cabbages for the wild rabbits one of these days too. I have a baby bun living in my barn - it is so cute!

Tomorrow I'm actually gonna harvest my first baby zukes.....I can't believe it. The first year I planted a vegetable garden -- the year I moved to California (1978), we didn't even start the garden until June 1.

What else is growing: cukes, maters, acorn squash, garlic (soon to be harvested), onions, potatoes, lots of lettuces, swiss chard, bush beans., sweet red peppers and one hot (serrano) pepper just for guacamoles, lots of basil, hmmmmm.....that's all I can think of.....oh no, I forgot some: watermelon and cantaloupe. Oh yeah, and artichokes and rhubarb, but those have been in for more than a year now, so maybe they don't count.

How the @#$%^& do you think one person is gonna eat all that? I guess it's good I've got the chickens to clean up all the excess, eh????

I've got beans, peas, cabbages, lettuce, and cukes in the ground. Still a tiny bit early for plants-- but I might put some in tomorrow. This is my first summer in Northern Maine, and I've been told they still get frost in June as late as the full moon, and most of the folks I work with that have lived here all their lives don't have their plants in--- so mine are going to stay on the sunporch for a bit longer!
