Vegetables (2025):

clockwise from top left: blue hubbard squash; mouse melon; sugar baby watermelon; rat tail radish; cucumber (various); beans (various); sugar pie pumpkin.

Pumpkin (Sugar pie): A small, sweet variety that is perfect for making pies! These plants will spread so need spacing (or room for supported climbing). Easy to grow but will require a long growing season to fully mature before winter. 

Radish mix (limited): A mix of radish seeds saved across the years. Radish prefer cool conditions so best to plant in early spring and then again in the fall. If letting go to seed, plants will grow quite tall and produce lovely white, purple and pink flowers with seed pods to be picked when dry.

Parsnip: A hardy, cool-season crop. Plant seeds directly in early summer for a fall harvest. Parsnips prefer to grow deep into the earth so plant in ground that is loose loam or a deeper raised bed. Be careful when handling parsnip plants: they produce a sap containing phototoxic chemicals that can cause skin blisters when exposed to sunlight. Introduced to North America by both French and British colonists. The plant has potential to outcompete native species, and, given its toxicity, you should be careful to plant parsnip in containers or an enclosed garden. See also: The parsnips are thriving.

Beans mix: A mix of various beans mainly of the pole and runner variety (plants will need support). 

Peas mix (limited): A mix of pole-type snap peas. Peas are easy to grow – direct sew in early spring so they mature while the weather is still cool. Succession plant another crop later in the summer with time to mature in the fall. Plants will need support as they grow taller. 

Cantaloupe (limited): Sprawling plants that love lots of space and warm weather. start indoors to ensure time for a late summer harvest. Harvest when the outside skin turns from green to tan and when the fruit easily twists off the vine.
