2008 Census Listing

Before I go ahead and start getting ready for work today, I figured I'd have enough time to do a general census of what I have growing this year. Here's the list. (It's quite likely that I've overlooked something, or that this list will change as the season progresses. I'll edit it as needed.)

In the main bed:

• Radishes: White Icicle and Sparkler White Tip
• Peas: Little Marvel (shelling pea) and Super Sugar Snap
• Cilantro
  
• Arugula
• Radicchio: Trevisio Red Preco
• Lettuce/Salad Mixes: Burpee Mesclun (both "sweet salad mix" and "spicy mix"), and a little bit of Black-Seeded Simpson and Rouge d'Hiver
• Tomatoes: Lemon Boy (x4), Cherokee Purple (3 in the bed, 1 in a pot), Green Zebra, Yellow Pear, Sweet 100 Cherry, Black Krim
• Peppers: Thai Bird Chillies
• Fennel: Finocchio
• Chervil
• Salad Burnet
• Thai Basil
• Verbena: Homestead Purple
  
• Assorted Bedding Plants: Marigolds and mixed Salvias, mostly

In Other Bedding Areas:

• Sweet Peas: Perfume Delight
• Nasturtium: Burpee's Jewel Mix
• Coral Bells: "Ruby Bells"
  
• Lily-of-the-Valley
• Assorted Hostas

In pots of varying type and size:

• Johnny-jump-ups
• Catnip (big one plus some experimentals from seed)
• Spearmint: Kentucky Colonel
• Lemon Verbena
• Rosemary: Gorizia and 1 of unknown type
• Scented Geraniums: Lemon, Peppermint Rose, and Nutmeg
• Marjoram
• Thyme (vulgaris)
• Chives
• Winter Savory
• Strawberries: Quinalt and "Mounding"

• Lavender: Unknown type
• Cucumbers: Lemon and Poinsett 76
• Zucchini: Garden Spineless F1 Hybrid
• Squash: Saffron Prolific Straightneck
• Carrots: Nantes Coreless
• Basil: (a little Genovese from seed)

So yeah. Our pseudo patio area is kind of awash with assorted potted plants. And I already need more pots. This is the result of my spring urge for plants overtaking my good sense (also, cheap plants for sale at the Farmer's Market!). Bleh. Perhaps I should visit my folk's house and steal some of my mother's extras? Or maybe see if the dollar store has anything useful. Pictures of various things are forthcoming.

As a note: The eight billion tomato plants is totally not my fault this year. On their own, Tali and Ben bought me all of the plants (in two or three different batches) except for the Green Zebra. So I get to blame excess fruit on them this year. Ha!

Next Up: Failed projects. *sigh*
