I have been gardening for many, many years. It gets harder and harder every year to get down and up to pick and pull weeds, but I am going to keep at it for as long as possible.
In Ohio, I can get in 3 successive plantings each year. Early in the spring, late March or early April, I plant peas, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, beets, swiss chard. In early or mid May I plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and green beans and cucumbers. Then in early to mid August I plant a fall garden of more spinach, lettuce, broccoli. etc. They will grow throughout the cooler fall months and will last often until mid November.
I would love to have enough space for corn, but it takes up so much room in the garden for the amount of return.
I also have flowers of all kinds all over my yard.
