🍅 Is anyone starting their veggie seeds for the garden yet? What are you planting?🥬 [View all]

Mr. Diamond is going with these tomatoes: Celebrity, Brandywine, Rutgers, 4th of July, Moby Grape,and Health Kick.

Grand Rapids, red and green Romaine lettuces

Maybe some Swiss chard if I can find some.

I got tired of green beans after planting them the last 5 years or so. We still have 18 pints of canned peppers from last year. I don’t have much luck with cucumbers any more. So, just tomatoes and lettuce so far this year.

What are you going to plant in your garden this spring?
