What (Else) Will You Grow in 2010?

cdbva · December 1, 2009

Tomatoes go without saying, of course. But a few weeks ago I started musing about other possibilities for the spring. This will be the first full year I'll have space to grow whatever I want in the plot that seemed so impossibly huge when I got it. Now I'm wishing I had a couple more plots. But you're only allowed one. And I was lucky to get mine when I did; they say there are 500 on the waiting list now!

So, my prelimary list is:

Eggplant

A mixture of sweet bell peppers

Chard. I love chard.

Turnip greens, maybe with turnips underneath them.

Basil, of course

Sage - may live over

Oregano - will live over

Parsley

Cilantro - must do some research on making sure it grows

Lettuces. I want to grow enough salad that we won't have to buy any.

I might try:

Bay leaves

Rutabagas

Raspberries

Pumpkins (my neighbor at the gardens has offered me half of her plot to do this)

Some kind of squash

Am I missing anything? What will you grow?
