ML’s Top 10 Seeds: Part Two, Veggies, etc.

Purple Noodle Bean

 
Monday was Flower seeds, today is Veggies.

These are in no particular order. Check out this UGA Planting Chart for more info.

6.  Lettuce
      So many varieties. UGA recommends Butterhead, Romaine & Buttercrunch for
      Zone 7/8 (Augusta GA), but don’t hold back from experimenting with some gourmet types
      such as Arugula, Red Choi, Butterhead, and the colorful mixes.

7. Radish-My favorites are Cherry Belle and Easter Egg… We love them in salads.

Okra & Baby G-Mo in the Monkey Grass

8.  Spinach
     Malabar Spinach is an ornamental yet edible climbing spinach that I will plant on the 3 tee pees in the home garden this spring. Otherwise, get your “green” on with Melody, Giant Noble, Winter Bloomsdale, and Avon.



9.  Beans/Peas
      The Purple Noodle Bean or Yard Long beans are very interesting because of their color and length. Edible. 

English Peas can be started now & are fun to pop open while in the garden…also throw them in stir fry. Many varieties for Zone 7/8- Lincoln, Maestro, & Little Marvel.For traditional snap beans, I  am growing bush type beans instead of pole beans this year.

10.  Okra–tip: “Eagle Pass”is not a variety I’ve had success with but it is sure 
pretty in the catalog. 
Southerners should be successful with okra! Burgandy and Clemson Spineless
are your best bets! Burgundy looks great in fall arrangements!

SunGold(small) & Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes

I can’t stop here! I have more, so check back!
Blessings from the Garden.
