So what am I growing this season? Well, lemme tell ya - it's a hefty list I'm attempting here! But I have big plans for everything & really want to maximize off of my garden bed space and attempt to do some container growing!

Starting with seeds.....
Produce:
Cucumber
Roma Tomatoes - A LOT OF THEM TOO!
Rainbow Cherry Tomatoes
Sweet Multi-Colored Bell Peppers
Cayenne Peppers - Hot
Yellow Squash
Zucchini
Beefsteak Tomatoes
Jalapenos
Flowers
Zinnia's
Morning Glory
White Marigolds - heard these can help with garden bugs and other bugs outside!
Butterfly Flower
Delphinium
Perennials I've purchased .....
Carolina Jasmine - planting to climb my arbor trellis!
Citrona Orange Wallflower
Bellissima Red English Daisy
Spring Fever Orange Iceland Poppy
Delphinium
Annuals....
Hydrangeas from my front porch pots
Anddddddddd whatever else I find at Lowes/Home Depot or our local nursery that's budget friendly for my porch!
I'm aware this a rather ambitious list, but ya don't know until you try, right? With the seeds my main focus is tomato's and zucchini - as long as those grow well - I'll be a happy duck! For the flowers - I'm try just doing trial and error. I really want more color around the house to add to that cottage feel & for the right price I'm willing to gamble on the perennials because they will possibly come back next year. With annuals - I struggle to spend the money because it's a one time thing and I hate to go to the effort to plant them if they aren't coming back next year and I just have to rip them back out. But I don't mind a few for pots on the porch. Anyone else feel that way about spending on annuals?
I have more fall crop idea plans as well so stay tuned for that!
Thanks for reading!
