Veggie garden inventory

This vegetable garden of mine, previous blog entries on which I am going to refrain from mercilessly back-linking to today, is a completely new experience for me. I've never grown an edible substance before. And historically I haven't even been that into vegetables.

So deciding what to plant was difficult for me. In the end, I treated it as one big experiment. What kind of tomato will I like best? What kind will grow the best in my climate and soil? Who knows? So when choosing what varieties of tomato, eggplant, bell pepper, and hot pepper to plant, I decided to choose several.

And I found my chart under the piles of crap in my dining room, so here, without further ado, is my vegetable garden inventory:

Flat-leaf parsley (1 4' row)
Curly-leaf parsley (1 4' row)
Yellow onions (11 plants)
Habanero peppers (2 plants)
Squash (1 plant)
Early girl tomatoes (2 plants)
Ildi tomatoes (2 plants)
Golden boy tomatoes (1 plant)
Better boy tomatoes (1 plant)
Whopper tomatoes (1 plant)
Beefy boy tomatoes (1 plant)
Also, patio tomatoes, on my porch (Ha! You thought I was going to say "patio", didn't you?) (2 plants)
Strawberries (3 plants)
Super chili peppers (2 plants)
Super banana peppers (3 plants)
Better belle peppers (1 plant)
Lilac peppers (1 plant)
California wonder peppers (1 plant)
Jalapeno peppers (11 plants)
Whopper bell peppers (6 plants)
Collards (1 4' row)
Kale (1 4' row)
Whopper eggplant (1 plant)
Ichiban eggplant (1 plant)
Fairy tale eggplant (1 plant)

I wish I had planted one or two corn stalks. I have one little unplanted section left in the garden (well, it was planted originally, but the habanero peppers died) that I think I'll fill with more greens. I'm not buying any more seeds or plants of any kind this year, though. I still have leftover seeds and will continue to use what I have.

I hope something in this garden becomes edible one of these days!

  • Jesse: we'll see! I don't have much faith in my ability to keep everything alive and healthy, but I'll try. But I'm going to try to use 100% of what does grow, even if I have to freeze some of it. :)
