Ha - I'm just making my list too! I want to do a seed order this week and I've been drooling over the seed savers catalog.

So far, I've already planted (some overwintered):
garlic (planted in the fall)
various greens - kale, spinach, lettuces - everything I had leftover
sugar snap peas - though they still haven't emerged so they might be duds (they were left over seeds)
collards
broccoli
cauliflower
flat leaf italian parsley
cilantro

I also have a perrenial herb patch with mint, oregano and chives.


I KNOW I will grow:

Tomatoes:
Polish Linguisa
Amish Paste
Sun Gold cherries
some slicer....

lots more greens
beans
zucchini
pie pumpkins
winter squash
pickling cukes
onions
green onions
leeks
I'll try carrots again but they never do well (to darn many rocks - even in my raised beds )

Oh some other stuff. lol Just need to decide on varieties!

Oh and I want to get my raspberry patch in this spring. DH has been giving me a hard time about it so I guess I have to dig it! (he doesn't want to dig lol)

Sounds good! I decided on varieties by ordering the most cold-hardy and proven varieties offered by a local seed company. If they can grow it, I can grow it. I like simple and supporting local...it's all organic seed too. I really have no idea what I'm doing as far as gardening, to top it all off.

Wow that's quite a list

4 different tomatoes (can't remember them all but several are roma, cherry, etc)
3 different thymes - lemon scent, varigated, garden
basil
bell peppers - green, red, orange, yellow (wanted purple but couldn't find any)
banana peppers
cilantro
onion chives
garlic chives
shallots
flat leaf or italian parsley
garden sage
bronze leaf fennel
eggplant
strawberries
hot peppers (away from the others to prevent cross pollination, they are jalapeno and tabasco)
tarragon
greek oregano
italian oregano
nasturtium
lemon grass
New Zealand climbing spinach
Bush variety cucumbers (instead of climbing
dill
straight neck summer squash
zuchinni
watermelon -allsweet and Moons and stars
artichoke
rhubarb
In containers:
2 christmas rosemary plants
1 prostrate rosemary plant
3 lavendar
spearmint ( I have another of these to put in another pot from last year)
peppermint
applemint
chocolatemint

We've never grown climbing spinach, artichoke or rhubarb before, so this should be interesting.

I think that's all we have in our garden so far.

Oh we also planted 2 peach trees, 2 apple trees, 1 fig, 1 blood orange, 1 pineapple orange and one lemon tree.

We have 8 blueberry plants ready to be planted and we have ordered 2 blackberry plants.

I want more fruit, but that will probably do for this year.

I'm still being indecisive.

I want an herb garden. I've got a few things I got from Selena.. I want several mints, I love them in tea.

Pumpkins and melons for the kids, need to figure out a small area for those. Leila planted a dwarf sunflower as well.

We've got the garden fort kit from magic cabin that I want to put out there for the kids...

then I want salad greens, roma tomatoes and carrots. Beyond that, I haven't a clue.
