I do not know very much about vegetable gardening. From what I have read it appears that not all cukes, tomatoes, squash, etc. are the same. Some do better in Maine than others. Can anyone suggest good varieties for a vegetable garden Newbie?

In my partial sun/shade garden I am thinking:

Lettuce

Spinach

Radish

Carrots

Scallions (in the sunniest section)

Kale

Kohlrabi

Any other suggestions???

In my sun garden (10 to 11 hours of sun per day) I am thinking:

Tomatoes and more tomatoes

Cucumbers

Peppers

Summer Squash

Winter Squash

Pumpkin

Watermelon

Beans

Herbs

Sunflowers

Any other suggestions???

I deeply appreciate any advise on varieties you might recommend as I have very little knowledge and even less experience.

Thank you, Fred
