Today I commented on my friend Jenn's blog - Got Goats? - about what we were planting this year. Although "scaling back" might seem absurd based on the list below, we have! Pictures soon, but our community garden plot is so nice and neat, it seems like an invasion of the body snatchers might have occurred. Last year was such a nightmare! I guess we learned a thing or two though..
We also planted a 4' x 4' raised bed and some planters of herbs/flowers/foliage.
So, here's the list:
Herbs:
Cilantro
Rosemary
Apple Mint
Golden Sage
French Thyme
Oregano
Basil
Tomatoes (usually one of each):
Sungold
Brandywine
Black Cherry
Cherokee Purple
Sweet Olive
San Marzano
Viva Italiano
Mystery Tomato (got it unlabeled)
Early Girl
Beefeater
Wapsipicon Peach
Amish Paste
Gold Medal
Beans:
Tiger Eye (for drying)
Rattlesnake
Purple Pole
Vegetables:
Cheddar Cauliflower
Leeks
Brusselsprouts
Chard (Bright Lights, Rhubarb and Fordhook)
Jalepeno Peppers
Banana Peppers
Bell Peppers
Squash/Cucs:
Butternut
Pottimarron
Mexican Sour Gherkin Cucumbers
Russian Pickling Cucumbers
YIKES! I am so, so, so, excited. We also joined a CSA, so should be eating well this summer. If I stay motivated I am going to try and keep a tally of our 2011 harvest. We'll see!
Happy Gardening! What are you excited about this year?

This sounds like lovely garden - some good eats to be had, for sure! And this is scaling back????? WOW!!!
Great Blogs, I also liked the garden, when my garden is on my mind so fresh and when I saw the green leaves of my eyes feels so fresh too.
