All Clear for Planting

Marlin Languis who spoke at our first meeting mentioned that the safe-for-planting date in Central Ohio was May 10th so let's get planting folks! I put in our garden this past weekend over two days during breaks in the rain. It felt good to get back into the dirt!

We use a communal garden with some friends from big Vineyard and it's a whopping +1100 sq/ft plot. This is our first year doing one together and this is what we have planted:

8 kinds of Lettuce
Spinach
Collard Greens
Beets
Carrots
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Cucumbers
Pole Beans
Sunflowers
Broccoli
a few kinds of Tomatoes
a few kinds of Peppers
Onions
Garlic
Cabbage
Peas
Strawberries
Blueberries (but they are new this year so won't be fruitful for 3 more years)
Raspberries
and an herb garden with Chives, Basil, Cilantro, etc. nothing fancy


What are you planting?
