NEW this year:
- Sweet potatoes - My husband loves them and they seem easy. They are shipped as plants in the spring and take 3-4 months to mature. I've never been a fan of sweet potatoes. How do you like to eat them?
- Baby carrots - Round, 3-4" in length. I'm going to grow these in pots this year. The ground seems too hard for the carrots to stretch out.
-
- Banana peppers - Red and orange, long peppers.
- Butter lettuce - I had butter lettuce the first time in Paris. It really is buttery and so soft. It's heaven! Lettuce is really easy to grow too.
-
- Radishes - Another veggie that my husband and his mom like. I'm not a fan, but it's an easy container plant. I'll see what the fuss is all about.
- Armenian cucumbers - Based on their picture and description, it seems similar to an English cucumber, so I'd like to try it. They can get up to a yard long!
- Bok choi
- Lemon basil -
- Thai basil
- Filet beans
- Fairytale eggplants - These are by far the best little eggplants ever! They are the perfect size to grill or sautee with a little olive oil. Pop them right into your mouth! Buttery, fleshy and not seedy or bitter.
-
- Herbs - This year, I'm going to buy plants (with the exception of basil) such as thyme, rosemary, and sage. I just have too much going on to bother with the herbs. I'm going to make an area just for herbs.
- Pumpkins
- Plum & Grape tomatoes
- Arugula
- Basil & mini basil bushes
- English cucumbers - I'm going to plant as many of these as possible! They were so delicious and prolific last year. Quick, crisp, great for salads and pickling. Needs lots of consistent watering.
-
- Lemon cucumbers - Small, sweet and eaten like an apple! I threw these into my lunch bag last summer and they were such a nice treat to munch on.
-
- Dill, Cilantro, Parsley,
- Bianco (white) eggplants
- Asparagus
- Sweet corn - Mmmm. So easy and delicious!
- Watermelon & Cantelope

Sweet potato fries are about the yummiest thing ever invented :) Or you can just bake them like a normal potato and put honey butter in them... ahh....
I wish I have more land too. But alas I have a townhouse which means no land. This year I am going to attempt to plant some herbs in pots. I hope they grow.
I love your blog.
those lemon cucumbers are bizarre! Where did you find them/the seeds?
Hey Shortcake,
You can find the seeds in any garden store. Burpee sells them on their website as well. They are great! You should try them
