This is the 15th year I've gardened in the 30 X 50 foot plot next to our house. For 14 years that plot nurtured tomatoes, peppers, and basil.

Well, out there as of late this afternoon is a 10 foot long, 6 inch wide planting of a Sugar Snap pea called Sugar Sprint, from Johnny's (one of the short growing snap peas). Soon, swiss chard Bright Lights and a few varieties of red crisphead lettuce (Carmen, Magenta) will join the peas.

Then the squash, the beans, the corn and melons. It is so nice to be branching out! (of course, there is the matter of the 60 or so tomatoes and 30 or so peppers and eggplant that will be growing in pots in my driveway!).
