| Just curious to hear what other people in my area are having success with.
My wife is cooking our first batch of black-eyed eas now, and making smothered okra. Both are just getting to the point where we can eat some (because we planted a tiny garden, and had to wait until we accumulated enough to eat).
Snow peas were not very successful. We had a few, but nothing to brag about
Tomatoes are producing like crazy, but no new ones seem to be starting. I think we'll get a hundred all at once, then nothing else.
Greens of every description were a huge success. Can't go wrong with greens. If any amount of plant grows, you eat it! Too simple. Arugula was especially productive and pest free.
Turnips did well. They're finished for the year it seems.
Out bell peppers look weak, and are just starting to produce a little bit. We chopped one up today, and it's in the pot right now.
Egg plant is looking great, and just like last time (20 years ago) the white ones out-produce the purple. I'm SO looking forward to that harvest.
Basil is everywhere, and we've made a batch of pesto.
The potatoes seemed to produce in proportion to the effort I gave them. The plants seemed to die off early, but when I dug, I had nice-looking spuds!
Pole beans are doing well. I need to use shorter poles, so I can reach the beans.
Squash made a small but healthy crop.
my wife was dying for some corn, so after some other crops finished, she planted some. They're only about an inch tall so far.
Anyway... I want to know what crops really work well for you in our area, and what you avoid. This is my first garden in two decades, and I hope to improve on it every year.
