Vegetable gardeners, what will you plant?

[pectacon]

I like to grow squash every spring because it's so easy, and I'm digging some new garden beds to make more room for a pumpkin patch this summer. I'm also going to try to grow a few stalks of corn just because I like how they look dried and tied in bundles at harvest time. Finally I wasn't planning on garlic but some scraps volunteered in my compost heap so I moved them to a bucket. 

What veggies will you be planting this spring/summer?

I usually plant tomatoes, and last year was a good year for them.  This year they were kind of tiny and didn't do well.  The squash grows with very little effort.  I may try cucumbers this year.

I like just about everything: tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, corn, peppers, zucchini most of all. I don't like string beans very much, but we always grow a lot of them them since they have a great yield.

We always used to plant tomatoes, onions, radishes, corn, broccoli, brussell sprouts, peppers, yellow wax beans, green beans, potatoes, cukes, cauliflower, and eggplant (wow! We got 1 the first year, nothing after that). One year we even planted kohlrabi. Then we went to container gardening for 4 kinds of tomatoes, 3 kinds of peppers, yellow wax beans, cukes, and potatoes.

Last year, hubby only planted a couple tomato and cukes, but the grape tomatoes that fell on the ground, grew and we had a jungle of grape tomatoes.    I miss the peppers and wax beans. I even bought a pressure canner a couple years ago to do the low acid veggies and haven't used it once.



I miss the large garden but I can't do it anymore.

I usually plant a variety of small tomatoes in containers - not really get much though. We recently had a couple of trees taken down so that opens up some sunny yard space I can use so I may try growing them there this year.

I only do planter gardening, so I grow tomatoes with Basil to keep the bugs off

Jalepenos

Im going to try Thyme this year

Ive tried green peppers in the past but they do horribly for some reason, never bigger than a golf ball

I did a garden when i first moved to this place I'm at, nothing big just about the size of a queen size bed. Had a garden center come out remove the sod and haul in new dirt, i went and got all the stuff needed and bedding plants.... And it was the biggest bust ever,   nothing grew, or I should say grew but really got strange.  Radishes went to seed with nothing in the ground but a string root. My giant pumpkin I babied from a seed got a huge vine and a sick looking pumpkin smaller than a basket ball !      Cherry tomato plants with 7 marble sized tomatoes.. Never ever try growing a garden near Black walnut trees!!   Lesson well learned!

Mine will depend on what my cousin allows since I will have to drive to his place. I live in an apartment, but he's got a house and will let me use some of his land to work a garden. I really want some squash and jalapenos.

My fruit trees arrived I got 4 of them, I only was able to grow squish, pumpkins, and sunflowers too. My tomatoes needed to be in a planter, or they are sour.

not a planter of gardens, but i have a cousin who has begun tilling his garden and ready to start planting. I reap his garden, and he do all the work. i know, shame on me.

I always wanted a vegetable garden but I live in an apartment. I plan to buy two big pots that I can grow tomatoes in and I want to grow peppers in the other one. I hope my plan works out this year.

Tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers.  For the paste few years I have been trying bell peppers but I think the growing season here is too short here for them, then only bell peppers that grew were small and green.
