[Gardening with Rabbits]

I am working on my list now. I am now looking at Salt and Pepper cucumbers, Natacha lettuce, Diplomat melons, Honey Bear squash, and Phoenix tomatoes all from your list. I love getting new ideas. I like waiting to see digitS list because of the area we live in.

@Gardening with Rabbits
salt and pepper cukes are out of the world as long as you get them picked before they get to big
natacha is truly a chicory it wonderful in salads and soups
diplomat melon will ripen all at once... stagger planting
phoenix tomato are bred for long hot summers...."tomato growers supply company"
honey bear..stagger planting wonderful taste, great for stuffing

here's a couple suggestions......

yankee bell pepper..early,blocky,meaty great for stuffing.

highlander....kind of a long season plant,prolific,best picked when fire engine red or green and fire roast them excellent for chile rellenos,tacos. can be froze, great in hash browns or any dish calls for green chiles... just a whisper of heat outstanding flavor.

black summer bok choi.... if you like to cook asian dishes you will like this, heck it's a cabbage it goes in all most anything. best cooked al dente.

if you or anyone else has a question will be glad to share my experiences..

Want some yellow watermelons? Ice box side. Anywhere from 4-12#. Forget the variety.

 

[majorcatfish]

did them a few years back think they were called either yellow queen or yellow doll...

I am working on my list as well I have placed an order to sandhill , because I like the mail order situation they still do. It is kind of nostalgic lol. I have been to my lifelong favorite garden center twice already and picked up seeds both times. Also still looking for the jelly bean tomatoes That @digitS' talks about haven’t figured out where to get them from yet (hint hint) lol. When I get it together I will post here.
