What's in, What's Not

In:
onions, lettuce, radishes.
Cabbage, broccoli, cherry tomatoes.
Early Girl tomatoes,
Brandywine, German pink, WV Heirloom,
Lemon Boy, Golden Jubilee, Mortgage Lifter and Better Boy tomatoes. Green beans,
cucumbers and yellow squash and zucchini.
Yellow and red bell peppers, banana peppers.

What's not:
corn
pumpkins
cantalopes and melons
cayenne peppers
tomatillos
potatoes
beets.

Beats me why the potatoes and beets, usually the first things we plant, are still not in the ground.

Herbs: sage, dill, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, savory, basil, lavender.

The ones that made it through the winter: peppermint, lemon balm, oregano, parsley, chives, fennel, one lavender. It was a hard year.

Also planted this year: weeping willow, three currant bushes, one Joseph's Coat climbing rose, three evergreen trees, veronica, victoria, and pinks.

Flowers: begonia, marigolds, geraniums, alyssum, lobelia, petunias, zinnias. And I've just begun to plant my flower gardens, so the list will grow. Most of the perennials made it through the bad weather. Flowers have to be hardy to make it up here.
