Summer Garden 2009 What’s Growing in the Garden

This year when I walk outside, I immediately get hungry from all of the potential food I am growing. I am growing my old favorites like tomatoes, cucumbers, and basil. But I am also growing winter squash and pole beans. I’ve been using a more scientific approach by using electronic PH reader for the soil and potted plants. I am also using a high quality soil from Fox Farms. The difference is tremendous.

Mystery, I thought I had planted Green Sausage but it
is not maturing that way.

Squash
Sweet Dumpling Squash (winter squash that is a smaller version of the much raved about Delicata Squash)
Yellow Crook Neck Squash (a last minute seed I started after a coworker was giving away her extras)

Beans
Kentucky Pole Beans
Potomac Pole Beans (Received from a seed swap)
Edamame (This is my second year, as my first was unsuccessful)

Classics
Black Beauty Eggplant (If you use the Cook’s Illustrated instructions for Eggplant you’ll never regret it)
Space Saver Slicing Cucumber (I tried growing the traditional cucumbers twice without any luck)

I can’t wait until they mature and I get to eat them all.
