I like to grow beans for drying…pretty hard to fail. I like to break open the dried pods in the fall.I always grow corn tomatoes peppers(of every kind), I was just thinking about changing the garden and still keep some of the same stuff just kinda add to it with some things that I haven't had before. Who knows maybe I will find a new vegetable to plant all the time.
Beets, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes are standard. We tried several varieties of these, and found great ones and less than great.
Rutabaga: a cross between a turnip and cabbage. We like them. They are a brassica.
Turnips: we like to grow the small white salad turnips in the spring and fall (they generally don’t do well with lots of heat). We eat them raw.
Melons. Ive been looking for a really good honeydew. Last year we got a few good ones! Cantaloup and watermelon are good too,
Parsnips: spouse likes them, I can take or leave them- not a big fan.
Soybeans: for edamame. We like to grow these to cook like edamame.
Things we’ve tried for fun: tomatillo, peanuts, cotton, lentils, cowpeas. Probably a few others I’m forgetting.
We gave a bed for rhubarb, and for asparagus.
