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!
