What do you have planted in your garden so far ? What zone ?

Here's a link to pictures of my garden - there were so many pics I just started my own thread. I'll pick my first heads of lettuce and tomatoes today. I think I've planted just about everything. I'm in zone 8.

Just planted my garden today. I believe we are in zone 4?
I planted: two different kinds of beans (one a heirloom from the 1850s that can also be used as a dry bean), sage, dill, cucumbers, radishes, two different kinds of sweet corn,turnips,lettuce,zucchini and acorn squash. I THINK thats it...
Hopefully this weekend will have enough dug up to plant pumpkins, watermelons and peas.

I am envious of your climate down there Davaroo - up here it's looking more and more like another unseasonaly cold spring/early summer. You can't even think about warm weather stuff up here till end of May. Every year I give a couple of small melon varieties a try - got to push the envelope... but I fail 3 out of 4 years

Finally wising up and building a greenhouse.

I knew I had you pegged for a smart man: Greenhouse.

As for the NW weather, try peas, kales, brassica's, leeks, turnips/parsnips, the earliest of tomatoes. Look to the English garden for your stock in trade, my friend.

Yeah, that's what we do - but I want big juicy melons!!

And a ripe tomato before late August would be nice for a change as well.

Of course, on the flip side I'm still getting fresh peas and broccoli in July - so it's not all bad. Play to your strengths I guess.

And be happy with what you have, I suppose.

But, build you that greenhouse anyway.
Then you can sit back and say, "See what I did?!" and enjoy that tomato as you please. And that, my friend, is what life is REALLY all about.

Tell you what - When my melons come in, I'll save you some of the seed and send it you. When you're greenhouse is GO!, you'll be ready (I do have high hopes for the Tigger and banana melons).

I'm in zone 5, and we just "harvested" our first baby crop of arugula, lettuce, and spinach (nevermind it was only enough for a small salad). Beans, 6 or 7 different types of tomatoes, 3-4 types of peppers, sweet peas, butternut squash, zucchini, raspberry bush, strawberries, basil, lemongrass, red and white onions, rosemary, dill, potatoes are in the garden and doing well, although it seems like its been a bit on the chilly side here.

yum!

Zone 3

Your chickens will love the corn salad if you share. Thay like bok choy and just about anything green !

Back in March, before the broken ankle, I planted asparagus, onions, carrots, lettuce, and strawberries. I had tomatoes and squash in peat pots in the enclosed back porch. DS watered toms & squash too little at first and then overcompensated with too much water and they are long gone. I'm buying tomato plants on Wednesday when I go to town to the orthopedic doctor.
Last week, when I ventured out for the first time, the lettuce has bolted, strawberries were being eaten by slugs, the onions were looking wonderfully large. And are delicious; we had some that day. Asparagus was making a nice stand and the carrots were looking very good, greenery wise. (DS is feeding the chickens for me and he isn't interested in the garden.)
But since then, it has rained every day and on Sunday morning, we got nearly seven inches of rain in less than five hours. Flooded my house and I have not waded out to see the sorry state my garden must be in.
Am hoping that by fall garden season I'll be able to plant without a major mishap and can enjoy that growing season. A good thing about growing seasons is there's always the next one. In the meantime, I'm already looking for a nearby "truck farm" for summer vegetables.

I'm in SE Florida, I think zone 9.5 or 10. Our growing season really begins around October-November, and it's coming to an end right now. It just gets too dadblasted HOT to grow anything.
Except watermelons.

I'll clear out the remaining stuff, lay wide sheets of corregated cardboard and empty paper feed sacks across the garden beds, poke some holes through and plant watermelon seeds in them. Then the vines can grow out & over the cardboard but the weeds stay put.
