The list

All this time thinking and reading about the garden, and where have I gotten to?

The list of things to plant this year. I first wrote up a list in the first week of January, but here's the edited version, with additions in italic, cancellations struck out:

• Asparagus
• Onions - bulb, green
• Shallots
• Leeks
• Kale
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Tomatoes
• Green beans
• Lima beans
• Black beans
• Peppers
• (more) Blueberries
• Lingonberries
• Wintergreen Corn (Silver Queen? King?)
• Squash - winter
• Pumpkin (pie) ?
• Corn Salad
• Claytonia
• Lettuce
• Black Currant (Titania)
• Juneberry?
• Hardy Kiwi
• Hops
• Mulberry
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Celery
• Celeriac
• Endive, for forcing
• Chicory
• Collards?
• Cress?
• Cucumber
• Dandelion (the other kind)
• Eggplant
• Kohlrabi?
• Parsnip
• Hamburg Parsley
• Peas/Snow Peas
• Radish - daikon?
• Spinach?
• Chard?
• Zucchini?
• Bok Choi
• Tat Soi
• French Sorrel
• Rhubarb
• French Tarragon

A number of these are things I hadn't tried until recently (like parsnips), or things whose values we've learned through local eating, like Bok Choi, which we can get from Finger Lakes Fresh. A few (notably the berries, wintergreen, mulberry, rhubarb, asparagus, and french sorrel) come from the hope that we can get some tasty perennials into the mix.

Next step: figuring out which of these come from where, and which variety. That'll probably end up being a much nicer table instead of a list. I also get to figure out where they'll go, especially the things that need or want trellises.

(And suggestions are welcome - just remember I'm in USDA zone 5, on the north side of a hill.)
