Plant what you like to eat and share! It is possible to get hooked on filling every space with something.
Plant more than once. Some veges will get burnt out mid summer and start falling short on producing. Something like zucchini can be planted again for a healthy bounty.
Perennial herbs are a great addition to non-edible planters. They are important for adding to the bounty. The best are:
Rosemary, thyme, oregano. Chives and French tarragon die back in winter but start up quickly in Spring. Sage gets scraggly and should be trimmed back in Jan.
Parsley grows for a full year and is good in the winter. Replant each Spring. Basil is best replanted 2 times in summer. Make pesto!

Tandy, I saw your garden photos on Facebook -- oh my gosh! You should have a television show. How many hours a day do you spend in the garden??
ReplyDeleteI spend too long and might need to take a break next time, we shall see. There is winter, too but that is less work. It is the therapy of getting down and dirty and really sore. My brain takes a break while being out there. It is also fun to share the harvest.
