It is time to start planting. Here are our seeds for the summer. All of them were purchased from Baker Creek Heirloom. A fellow redditor suggested rareseeds.com (Baker Creek’s website) to me after talking about doing a seed gift exchange. What an awesome idea that would be!

We got 5 varieties of vines that we hope climb up our pergola. They were chosen based on looks and what we enjoy eating:

• White Wonder Cucumbers
• Chinese Yellow Cucumbers
• Yellow Brandywine Tomatoes
• Purple Podded Pole Beans
• Henderson’s Black Valentine Pole Bean

Got the following to try out a “Three Sisters” garden:

• Country Gentleman Sweet Corn
• Streamline Runner Bean
• Crookneck Squash – Early Golden Summer

For our salad garden:

• Monstrueux De Viroflay Spinach
• Rocky Top Lettuce Mix
• Tendercrisp Celery
• Parisienne Carrots (which they Baker Creek sent as a gift!)
• Chinese Red Meat (Radish)
• Early Scarlet Globe Radish

Some standards:

• Gold Princess Onion
• Thai Long Sweet (Pepper)
• Albino Bullnose Pepper
• Golden Beet
• Ali Baba Watermelon

and finally, for fun:

• Strawberry Popcorn
