Yesterday the tomatoes went in - don't judge - just a few transplants from the feed store. Two Celebrities and a Sweet One Hundred for reliability, and a Sun Sugar in the spirit of adventure.
I think it'll be a cool late summer and fall, so the broccoli and lettuce will go out soon the seeds turn up. Big broccoli heads are really spiffy, but this year we're trying sprouting broccoli (adventure!), after all, how many batches of broccoli and cheese have you made lately? Cut up in salad, spuds, and pasta is more likely; the sprouts lend themselves to that and will prevent that 'waiting for the right meal until finally the heads bloom' syndrome.
This year the new area will be used for onions and maybe some potatoes. Next year it'll hopefully be suitable for a significant number of 'maters; we didn't can any at all this year so the canning pantry shelves are pretty bare.
