This will also be a cute little list of vegetables I am trying to grow and am just looking for some words of wisdom going into this growing season. All of these are vegetables that I really enjoy in the summer and am so excited to try out.

Melon

Honestly, I wasn’t planning to planting a melon this year. I really hadn’t considered growing melons before but I saw them during a trip to Home Depot and thought it would be fun. I’m hoping for at least one melon but have no expectations as I have done no research on them!

Arugula

My partner and I put arugula on everything. Pizza, sandwiches…well that’s honestly about it but we eat those regularly! Our local Italian grocery store sold some seeds that we are trying out.

Carrots

I don’t know why but these seem hard to me? I’ve have heard bad stories in the past couple years from co-workers and am anticipating failure- but will be pleasantly surprised if I succeed.

Beets

I recently learned I like pickled beets! I have tried them before in Greek salads and never enjoyed them but my refined adult palette sure likes them pickled. I don’t know if my beets will grow as well as Schrute Farms but I sure will try!

Corn

I LOVE FALL. My corn, pumpkin, and beans (three sisters) planting is going to be so fun. I can’t wait to try this out. Also, I plan to have sunflowers planted in with the corn so I think they may make for some cute dog pictures in the fall.

Cucumber

I can’t believe I haven’t grown these yet. These have always been one of my top vegetables, I used to eat one a day in high school.

Onions

Our top vegetable we use. Pretty head to head with garlic but we always used them together anyways. We put that shit in everything.
