One good thing about having a house, I can plant perrenials without feeling like a sucker.

Kentucky green beans
Snap peas
Brandywine tomatoes
Steak Sandwich tomatoes

Early Girl tomatoes
Bell peppers
A mix of hot peppers
French radishes
Fingerling potatoes
Garlic
Green onion
Endive
Spring lettuce mix
Long thin carrots
Golden beets

Zucchini
Fennel
Artichokes
Sunflowers
Raspberries
Herbs: thyme, oregano, basil, sage, parsley, chamomile, rosemary, lavender
Nasturtium
Peonies

Also:
Two cherry trees
A kumquat
A pomegranate
Rita the fabulous lime tree (already potted)

Haven’t decided on:
Other flowers
Crocus
Another kind of squash
Your suggestion?

To Make The Garden:

Step 1: Rent a rototiller
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Eat things

P.S. Beautiful or weird?
