Well, that was easier than last year. I already went and bought all my seeds! Good thing too because the squash I wanted was only sold by one place, I'm sure it will sell out. Here's what I bought, and that's all I'll need. Everything else I have saved from last year.
- Cucumbers - Diva (slicer), Cool Breeze & Rocky (both mini picklers). All 3 are Parthenocarpic.
- Endive (witloof) - Totem OG
- Nasturtiums, climbing - Jewel of Africa
- Nasturtiums, bush- Kaleidscope OG
- Summer squash, bush - Cavili, also Parthenocarpic
- Chinese cabbage - Lettucy type
- Carrots - Napoli OG
- Leeks - King Richards (early & long) & Giant Musselburgh (old heirloom, very winter hardy)
