Besides what I checked in the poll, I also have tomatoes and lettuce (several varieties), as many others have mentioned. In addition, I have strawberries, sage, mint, basil, rosemary, chives, and a few other herbs I can't think of right now. Oh, I remember now, parsley and cilantro. There may be more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

John
They're both dark leafy greens - and they're very good for you .

Eat your greens John!

I am waiting for the next garden thread....

NEWS Man Plants Eggshells and an Eggplant Grows!

Also, when your poll shows peppers, I checked it even though we planted Bell Peppers. Those don't really count as peppers, do they? I have a jalapeno plant this entering its third year. And they are super "volcano-butt" hot!!!

Looking for advice on my green beans. Growing the "kentucky wonder" variety.

Here's the deal. Planted from seed 1 month ago. Zone 7a/7b....the plants now range from 7-9" tall.

Not sure if I'm paranoid or what, but the bean plants are a noticable "light" green. Not the "dark" green color like my tomatoes and cukes. They also don't have any pods yet.

Checked on the web and again, I'm not sure if its a "mosaic" disease or again, maybe I'm just paranoid....

they harvest in 65 days so I have a good 4-5 weeks left....

Any opinions?

thanks

Is the color mottled or just light green? They might be fine. Do you use any fertilizer, organic or otherwise?

Forgot that I am also growing dill and chives. So good on scrambled eggs.
