I've got seeds either on-hand or ordered for just about everything I'm starting from seed this year. I've been working out what I want to plant, and this is the plan I've come up with for the 72 square feet of my backyard raised beds:
super sweet 100 tomatoes
bell peppers
Hungarian wax peppers
parsley
oregano
onions

cauliflowers
cabbages

basils
arugula
chamomiles
tomatoes
sweet potatoes
butternut squash
yellow summer squash
zucchini

Like I said in my last post, everything has been late and disorganised this spring. However, I'm trying to get some stuff planted juuuusssssttttt under the wire for December, and hopefully they'll have time to grow before things cool down in the new year. Last year I was pretty amazed how lon…
