Up here in the Midwest I have planted:
pok choy
lettuce
spinach
potatoes
onions
carrots
beets
sugar snap peas
broccoli
cabbage
sweet corn

Also planted in containers:
sweet bell peppers
tomatoes
watermelon

All things are doing nicely. I plan on several more plantings of corn, another of melons, sweetpotatoes, squash, green limas, green beans, and fall plantings later on.

Those of our garden pals who are in zones 6 and lower are busy planting
cool crops like lettuce, spinach, carrots, beets.. so forth.
but for those of us in zones 7, 8, 9, ... cool season is over and we are
busy like bees planting tomatoes, peppers, squash,...beans, the stuff
that love warm even hot weather.
All of my bok choys, napa, radishes bolted. But still have some lettuce.
So I am working on 10 kinds of tomatoe, same number of peppers(sweet and hot),
six kinds of beans, some squash, cukes and wtermelons. O' not to forget OKRA and tomatillo, for the first time.

Cyrus, I'm planting the same as you except for the okra.
I'm trying tomatillas for the first time, but heard that you need 2 plants to cross fertalize. True?

planted last fall:

spinach
french grey shallots

planted this spring:

broccoli rabb
3 kinds of cabbage
lettuces
aruglas
cress
2 kinds of endive
carrots
tuscan kale
swiss chard
red onions from seed
yellow onion from sets

stuff started from seed and waiting for good weather:

toms
hot and sweet peppers
tobacco for cigars for hubby

I'll be doing a fall garden, also.

Hi NightNurse, I am a nurse also and from the UK, so I am interested in variety's you use, I watched a documentary on the BBC about people's roots literal and vegetable, and they had Lenny Henry (PBS Chef) his mum was from the Caribbean and the stuff she grew in the industrial Midland's of the UK was amazing, stuff I am not even sure I really understand.
I digress, I too am using what I know and throwing in some American (I say American as until I moved here, to my embarrassment, I hadn't eaten before, or still haven't, my bad! I missed out.
So the new to me in America, most I had heard of and knew just never eaten.
Swiss Chard still haven't tasted
Pumpkin or Punkin as my children call it!, was that London calling :-)
spaghetti squash, still haven't tasted
beet green's I put that as I didn't know you could eat the green til last year and they are lovely, I had tasted beetroot before.
Cantaloupe still haven't tasted
blueberry
sugarsnap peas?? think that's the one's, as in you eat the pod and the peas inside but they aren't flat?
Sunflower Russian mammoth, can you eat the seeds in this one?
Tomerillio, I never hear of these till last year, and a friend Facebooked "Tomerillio season" and seriously I thought he was talking about a animal :-) sadly this is the only thing that if I am unsuccessful I will be upset as I brought the seeds on his recommendation, 3 weeks before he died in an accident at 41, so they have a heavy investment.
onward
Taste of home.
Purple sprouting broccoli
Runner Beans ( that one is odd, as it is native of New England, not well known in these parts I live in NE?)
vegatable Marrow, a summer squash, I hear people call over grown Zuke's Marrow, but they are different beasts.
Potatoes. this a bit odd but I miss new potatoes as in white pots, without a proper skin, sort of like paper, rub's off easily.
mixed leaf lettuce
baby carrot's just like the pot's, you just can't seem to buy them.
My thinking on baby pot's and carrots is, until you live in America, you don't actually understand how big it is, so transport of food is epic, so these would be so expensive the price would be prohibitive, and the few local farms to me, need to make money on their stands so just not cost effective either.
others
Toms,
Pepper
Eggplant
Peas
broccoli
cabbage
onions
garlic
and a whole lot of herbs
I have the tiniest veg patch, but each raised bed has room to sprawl at the edge, or go up.
can't wait till the last frost date to get out the heat lovers, ( 10 day forecast and all that first of course)
happy times.

Checking in from south central Mass.

So far, I've planted broccoli, snow peas, shell peas, beets, romaine lettuce, and turnips. I've started summer squash and watermelon

Tomorrow, I'm headed to the nursery to pick up some cauliflower starters, and to Home Depot to get a couple more 10" deep flower boxes for the two varities of carrots I'll be sowing in a few weeks

Lots of work to go! Yesterday I cut down 4 little trees and umpteen brush with the pruners and bow saw! A lot of clearing and cutting about to go on!

Nancyjane ,

The belief that you have to have more than one TOMATILLO, plant is not shared and experienced
by many. And there is no solid professional opinion about that.
Tomatillo has perfect and self-pollinating flowers just like tomatoes and
there are no separate male or female plants or flowers. To experiment this
I have just planted one to verify it. My tomatillo has alredy one flower and several buds on it.
I will find out soon.
My guess is that it might be heat or lenght-of-daylight sensative. Therefore, will stop production due to those factors.
There are some tomato varieties, like Brandywine, that will not produce in heat
and high humidity in the South but they do fine up North.

Thanks Cyrus. I've heard both ways, and growing a new vege has me a bit scared listening to the HUGE harvest some people have had!
I think I'll just go with the one plant for this year. I still have to buy some and fiddle with recipes! LOL
NT

Now harvesting the spring planted cool season veggies: peas, brassica (gai long, sprouts, etc), swiss chard, bunching onion, cilantro, chamomile, etc.

The warm season ones that were planted: tomato, sweet peppers, hot peppers, eggplant, zukes, summer squash, cucumbers, luffa, gourd, amaranth, malabar spinach, beans, basil, pepper mint, perrila, culantro, etc. Lost a few cucumbers, luffa, peppers to the unusually late hail and cold rain. But there're plenty of seeds to replant. Some others are blooming now but may not bear fruit yet.

More to plant later when some fall/spring veggies are removed to render room.
