I am starting peppers seeds at the end of March instead of beginning of February since they did not produce much last year.
Same with direct sowing beans. Did that early May and nothing sprouted.

sesame in the super dry super sunny part of my garden that suffered the most from drought last summer. I think I might be able to get away with it but Im like 15 degrees too far north on the border of three hardniess zones with wack-ass variation in weather so we’ll see

Pretty excited for good-king-henry. I have it in pots right now but I’m hoping to grow between fruit trees ultimately if it catches 🤞

Broccoli raab, and row covers for my brassicas.

This will be our first full season with our new greenhouse, and after keeping some small seedlings alive all winter in our cold (zone 4/5 NH) – I am excited to see what else we learn this year. New crops include some new squash varieties (trombocino), pepita pumpkins for the first time, and an overall expansion to our garden. I am also growing 50+ pepper and tomato starts for a neighbor, so that is a little stressful though these are two things I have been starting for a long time, but still – now someone else’s garden is relying on my efforts. But overall, I am feeling really optimistic for this year even as I still have 20+ inches of snow in my garden.

I’m doing long green (beans) and begonias. Also I actually got the aubergines in on time to have huge plants ready when the greenhouse is warmed up. My paprika is flowering, not good, but my Carolina Reaper is perfect in size.

Peruvian ground cherries! A personal favorite that I’ve never attempted to grow.

I’m trying more things in pots on the patio. Like basil, cilantro, lettuce and mini cucumbers.

Never done this before!

Trying a new summer squash that was suggested to be resistant to squash vine borers. It’s Tatume. I had good luck with trombochino last year and we eat a ton of summer squash.

New plants for me are ground nuts and duck potato.
Starting a squash bed in an over grown area by digging a 2×2 hole 1 shovel deep, placing the sod around the hole. Adding manure. Planting 2 to 3 squash per hole. Mulching heavy.

Artichokes and Kohlrabi! Also it’s year two of the asparagus/strawberry/rhubarb bed. And while nto vegetable, I am trying to get jostaberry to grow.

Leysa peppers. I grow Corno di Toro and Gyspy every year. Adding these.
Also petunias. I started the seeds about two weeks ago.

It’s all new to me. First time gardening. I’ve got onions, some peppers and garlic going right now. Plan on doing some tomatoes and strawberries as well.

I’ve officially gotten my wife to CONSIDER letting me plant raspberries along our fence/sidewalk. Something about having a fence line of raspberries that my neighbors/passerby’s can grab on their walks sounds delightful.

Planning. Last year was my first time really trying a container garden and my harvest was fun but minuscule. My gardening was kind of chaotic. This year I did a lot of planning ahead of time and I’m hoping it will result in a harvest that actually makes a few meals rather than like one tiny squash I supplement with a store bought one

I started peppers in February, never started seeds indoors. Last year I bought a couple plants from the nursery in May and they produced a bunch. Got into making my own hot sauce last season and spicy pickle.
I haven’t started seeds yet, but I bought ground cherries, tobacco, Heuchera, creeping thyme, wild pansies, and a few other flowers that I’m going to try growing from seeds. We got a Vevor 15×7×7 greenhouse on sale for Black Friday last year and continue to expand the garden every year.
Grass gives you nothing, grow a garden that’s giving.

I am finally listening to something I read 20 years ago. Eliot Coleman said to not start your tomatoes too early. To time them so they are transplanted around 6 weeks old. For years I have grown them pretty big before transplanting.
A couple of years ago I needed to penny pinch so I grew my tomatoes later so I could save money on potting soil. It did not change my yield. Made me remember what I read all those years ago.
Last year I had one variety of tomato seeds killed early on by fungus. So I started more later. So at transplant they were about 7 weeks old. The other older seedlings sat in the ground for a bit before new growth started. The young seedlings hit the ground running and pushed out new growth almost immediately. Huh. Should have listened to Eliot from the get go.

I went a little nuts and started 30 tomatoes of 6 varieties, but mostly I’m excited to grow Malabar spinach and perennial peppers for the first time!

I’m trying seed snails and when the time comes for transplanting, i will be doing homemade olla pots.

Trying different larger variaty of tomatoes and cucumbers this year. Possibly growing herbs since to the surprise of no one, the cheap dollar store seeds didn’t produce last year.

I’m going to direct sow my beans instead of starting them inside.
I’m going to try to grow some sesame as well, so any tips are appreciated!

Tobacco and celeriac.

It’s been a terrible winter 🥶. I’m planting potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash for next winter harvest. 😎
panda_monium2
Added a lot of extra garden bed sqft so adding new variates (onions, winter squash , corn,). ALS added more cut flowers so poppy’s and more dahlias! Trying to see if incorporating more fertilizer (fish and kelp) will help. added a bunch of new roses to my beds outlining the home!
And lastly since I increased the amount of planting I’ll have to do a lot more direct sowing. I usually start almost everything indoors or in seed pods except carrots.

Sesame! The white seeded Shirogama and the tan seeded Kingoma. I’ll start some in flats for transplant and will direct sow others, and will see how they do.

Lavender and chamomile. Need the 🐝 to help with pollination?? (even though I’m allergic to stinging insects 🥲) Me and my mom both like chamomile and lavender tea, I also got tired of trying every year to grow a veggie garden that didn’t produce anything so that’s why I wanted to try something different. (Although now that I’ve discovered this subreddit, I kind of want to try growing some bell peppers 🫑 again).
