MomofDrew-that is SO COOL that you get to visit Johnny's! My dream plant vacation is to visit Plant Delight's nursery in North Carolina! LOL!

This may be a stupid question, but what do you do with your beets? Do you pickle them? Eat them raw? Cook them like turnips? We never eat them. I think it gets too hot here for them, I don't know. You never see them at the markets.

the leaves we steam and the roots we bake and then peel... they are soooo sweet that way...

Here is my pathetic little list from Baker Seeds:

Beurre De Rocquencourt wax bean
Golden Wax Bean
Triomphe De Farcy bush bean

Lemon Cuke
Richmond Green Apple Cucumber

Early Crookneck squash

Brandywine tomatoes

And Im going to pickup more tomato plants at the nursery when the time comes.

This is the second year to have a veggie garden for me. Last year it didnt do that great, so with the soil amendments Ive been adding, Im hoping for better results this year.

Oh, and I have my seed potatoes (red) and I was hoping to plant them on Saturday, but weve had so much rain I wont be able to. :/

Does anyone know (this might be another stupid question! LOL!) but we like the fingerling potatoes (roasted in olive oil with garlic and rosemary ) so would we just harvest the regular potatoes early, or are they a different breed? Should I just pick up some fingerlings and let them sprout, then plant?

MomofDrew-I might have to try that!

They are specific type of potato. You might be able to use what you buy in the store but you'd probably be better of to buy some fingerling seed potatoes.

Thanks for the reply, Setter. I haven't seen any fingerling seed potatoes. I guess I would have to order them...time to start looking!

I know this post is a little late, but I actuall have something to post now, lol. I havent been to walmart without purchasing something since they started getting seeds. Im up to 45 packets of seeds, 5 lbs of potatoes and roughly 190 onion sets.... and a 9 pack of broccoli plants... oh and 5 packs of various bulbs... I think. I'll post a picture though, writing it down will take too long, haha. the paper towels have seeds that my buddy sent me as well.
