This year I'm adding in lettuce (looseleaf), Romaine, spinach, broccoli, sugar snap peas, bush beans, pole beans, and eggplant. I may have overshot a bit but I'm choosing to be optomistic and hoping I'm graced with an extra-green thumb this summer.
Here's the plan:
Romaine lettuce: Little Caesar
"Perfect for small gardens and easy to grow."

Lettuce, looseleaf: Heatwave
"Thrives in the heat, and remains productive and tasty longer than all others."

Spinach: Baby's Leaf Hybrid
"The flat green leaves are sweet tender and very easy to clean."

Carrots: Little Finger
"Tiny gourmet great for salads."

Broccoli: Green Goliath
"Large headed, tight budded, blue-green variety."

Bush beans: Tenderpick
"Great flavor, similar to Tenderpod, with improved germination."

Pole beans: Purple King
"Beans that yield steadily all summer until frost." <-- That's a catchy one, huh?

Cherry Tomatoes: Sun Gold Hybrid
"Rapidly becoming the most popular cherry tomato of all time."

Tomatoes: Big Beef Hybrid
"Extra large, 10-12 oz., red fruits are firm, juicy and highly flavored."

Sugar snap peas: Super Sugar Snap V.P.
"This incredible pea is even better than the famous Sugar Snap."

Cucumber: Slicing, Straight Eight
"A cucumber superstar, this classic has excellent flavor and is widely adapted."

Eggplant: Burpee Hybrid
"Continuously produces many oval, medium-sized, glossy, purple fruits."

Sweet pepper: California Wonder
"HEIRLOOM. The Standard Bell Pepper"

Hot pepper: Hot Lemon (Heirloom)
"From Ecuador, as hot as any Cayenne, but with a truly unique flavor."

Basil: Sweet
"Classic herb, used in tomato sauce, pesto and salads."

Rosemary
"Fragrant leaves flavor meats, poultry and potatoes."

Cilantro

Chives

Great work, Leah! You have me totally thinking about trying a container garden since C's playground will now take the place of the area where I've had a garden in the past.
Oh I can't wait to read how it all goes. Do you know where locally you can find starter plants? We don't get enough sun indoors to start from seeds. Had a major failed attempt last year.
Good luck!
