The May 24 weekend is supposedly the biggest gardening weekend of the year in Canada, as it is finally safe to put any frost-sensitive plants in the grown. This spring has been particularly cool so we really did have to wait for the holiday for the tomatoes, etc. I got a few things in prior to then, mostly peas and radishes.
So here is the final list of what are this year's plants in the vegetable patch:
Tomatoes
4 - Early Girls (actually 3 now since one was killed by squirrels)
2 - Beef stake
2 - Brandywine
4 - Sweet Millions
1 - Cherokee Purple Heritage
1 - Nebraska Wedding Orange Heritage
Peppers
Jalapeño
Thai
Super Chili
Beans
Blue Lake pole beans around a wicker pyramid
Yellow Snap bush beans
Peas
Sugar Snap peas
Snow peas
Little Marvels
Roots
Cylindra beets
detroit dark red beets
Chantenay Red Carrot
French breakfast radish
Cherry belle radish
Champion radish
Burbank potatoes - more about this later!
Salad greens
Brun D'Hiver
Bronze Arrow
Forellenschluss
Romaine
arugula
Red Giant Mustard
Tatsoi (very few have sprouted, I feel it's a bust)
Mizuna Mustard
Other Greens
bokchoy
scotch kale
collards
red swiss chard
Vines
pickling cucumbers
Italian yellow zucchini
Green zucchini
Onion family
Garlic - planted in December
Leeks - planted last year, just maturing now

Whew! I think that's everything. If it all goes well, we're going to have one heck of a harvest. I actually picked the first radish yesterday and ate it. It was still a little small but I couldn't resist. By the weekend, we should be able to pick more.
