My 2014 veggie list..... what about you?

OK, so here is my final list of things I have growing under my grow lights:

5 types of tomatoes
5 types of extremely hot peppers, including Carolina reapers
1 Rainbow Bell pepper plant
Bush beans
Shishito peppers.... pretty mild Japanese pepper
Pasiila peppers
Armenian cucumbers
pickling cukes

Already in outside are a rainbow mix of carrots ( should be orange, white, purple, yellow carrots )...... 2 kinds of lettuce, and walking onions. The walking onions are coming up very nicely already.

Still to be planted: Snap Peas and Dragon Tongue Beans.

Whew!

Though, not veggies.... also 2 types of basil, 1 thyme that survived the winter outside, and 1 new plant.... 1 rosemary plant, and 1 cilantro plant.

In the ground-

Sugar Baby Watermelon
Cucumber
Radish
Carrot
Vates Collards
Bell Pepper
Beets? (I don't remember to be honest)
Lettuce


my list is depressing. I have a citrus grove and am involved in orchads and tulips too.
I have grown a LOT of watermelon, I'm branching out with the little veggie plot for home use.

I bust some rows and starting sowing seeds like a crazed lunatic, it's like a pot luck farm!

no I have a chart...somewhere.

oh I forgot I have one jubilee watermelon vine I brought from georgia. I only have one so I'm gonna try to grow a supermelon just for the heck of it. I know it wont be a record breaker, I just want to do it to say I did it. I've grown watermelon for around 20 years sometimes for market, sometimes not, but I have never tried to grow "the big one"... LOL. I should have picked a better vine, but it was a gift so..

Wish I would have tilled more space but will probably wait untillnext year.

Under the grow lights..... two tomatoes, peppers and cabbage...... so far crop failure.

In the ground onions, radish, peas, carrots, spinach, lettuce. Just starting to come up.
Chives and garlic are up and doing fine.

Its been a cool season here. Have not even had to mow the lawn yet. Maybe we will get some growing weather soon?

JayPoc..... I have some Dragon's Tongue Beans...... Are they a good producer? I don't know if I have room to plant them or not...... or whether I really need to.

They're fantastic. So much so, that I no longer grow green beans at all. The Dragon's Tongue are a compact bush type, and VERY productive. When small, we cook and eat them just like you would green beans. Great flavor. If you let them mature, you can shell them and eat them like pintos. Best of both worlds, IMO.

This is a horrible picture, but it gives you an idea. I got these two big bowl-fulls in one picking, from 3 eight foot rows. I had already picked about that many a week or so earlier.

I planted carrots and garlic in November and they are looking good. 9 tomatoes, 9 bell peppers, 6 squash, 11 water melon. Corn and okra won't be much if anything, I planted them for looks where 2 bushes died.
