Wow! Definitely a good, solid list there. I'll be looking forward to hopefully seeing some of your garden haul posts from all that planting!!

 

[Fernsdaddy]

It looks like you will be keeping busy with all your seed plantings.

 

[majorcatfish]

have to do some recliner planning this winter on who will go where depending on dtm and how much to start or plant according to what's left in the pantry/freezer.

 

[majorcatfish]

what's everyone's plans to grow in their gardens next year????

 

[marlingardener]

major, my plans are to grow pretty much what we grow each year. We will have three kinds of summer squash with the favorite being Coosa (light green skin, tiny seed cavity, and a meaty consistency); Celebrity, Sungold, and Roma tomatoes and trying Black Cherry tomatoes for the first time; Knight peas; Simpson's Elite, Oakleaf, Midnight Ruffles leaf lettuces; California Wonder bell peppers; Tendercrop green beans; Peaches and Cream corn; Red Lasoda and also Yukon Gold potatoes; red, yellow, and white onions; Straight Eight cucumbers because they are good slicers and also for pickles; Sugar Snap peas; turnips; and I'm sure I'll see a seed packet or two at the farm store that I just can't resist!
We try to grow a lot of standard vegetables that folks at the food pantry will recognize. Many are elderly and just don't want to fool with something they don't know, so we grow for ourselves, and for the pantry also. We've found that cherry tomatoes are snack food for many of the elderly--all you have to do is rinse and eat!

It's a really great list!
I honestly don't know what I will grow next year, because I don't like making plans

 

[Trellum]

Wow, someone has stocked up really well for the next year already Good for you, I'd do exactly the same if I had a bigger garden to work with, so far I think I'll grow all sorts of herbs in my kitchen, get a little greenhouse and grow tomatillos, poblano and california chillies. That's it.

wow @majorcatfish what a list. I usually don't think about seeds until April. and its those that can be started outside, and flowers. Do not do veggies. I have so many Amish living around me, and Amish stands, that, its so cheaper to get it from them than to take my time etc. to deal with veggies. I like to start nasteriums (spelling?). as I use them in salads. I might start some morning glories have to figure out where I can let it vine. But in reality, I have plenty of plants that come up from early spring to winter interest. so dealing with seeds is down on my list.

That's going to be one tasty garden, @majorcatfish. My house is small and surrounded by trees, plus its not very sunny here in winter so I don't start anything from seed. There's a couple of really good nurseries around here so I get babies when the danger of frost is over for the year.

I experiment with different heirloom tomato varieties every year. I'm almost out of hot peppers, so am putting in more; I love scotch bonnets. Pole beans, squash, cucumbers, carrots, maybe bell peppers.
