My main goal this year was to grow a great crop of tomatoes. Now they're ripening all at once! Pink Brandywine, Black Prince, Park's Whopper and Rutgers pictured here.
The best thing for a part time gardener is a fast payoff, and nothing is faster than planting salad greens. I give 'em about two weeks and then start trimming off the tender baby greens for salads. I planted twelve different kinds of lettuce and salad mix this year, so I'll always have enough. Yum!
