Kirchren's Vegetables 2008 garden

Created on Monday, 16 Jun 08

I have grown many herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and squash in the past. This year, I am branching out with bush beans, pole beans, snap peas (which I planted WAYYYYY too late and will probably have to pull and start again in July), eggplant, patty pan squash, and cauliflower. Should be interesting. We’ll see how it goes!
