I think I posted my planning spreadsheet a while back in the thread that showed locations. I didn't follow it 100%, but it was pretty darned close. (Just about 100% for the main crops. Just moved around some of the companion plants.) Anyway, here's a list of what's out there now, divided by types:
MAIN CROPS- bell peppers 16 plants (4 each of red, orange, yellow, and green)
- blackberries--6 plants, first year perennial, not expected to produce much
- blueberries--11 plants, first year perennial, , not expected to produce much
- broccoli--(all main heads have been harvested, but I grew a type that produces side shoots, and several of those are starting to make heads.)
- brussels sprouts
- cantaloupe
- carrots
- cucumbers (both slicing and pickling varieties)
- garlic (vast majority is already harvested, but left a little out there to deter pests)
- green beans (bush)
- herbs (basil, cilantro, dill, oregano)
- kale
- onions (both bulb and green)
- squash
- strawberries--around 30 plants, first year perennials, not expected to produce much
- tomatoes (10 varieties, 12 plants)
- watermelon
- zucchini
COMPANION PLANTS
(i.e. stuff growing purely to help the main crops)
- bee feed mix
- beneficial insect mix
- borage
- butterfly/hummingbird mix
- calendula
- marigold
- mint (in containers only..can be super invasive)
- nasturtium
- radishes (white icicle)
"JUST FOR FUN" FLOWERS
(either for cutting, aesthetics, or just because uber-tall sunflowers are kewl
)
- mammoth sunflowers (per packaging, could grow to 10-14 feet high..tallest current one is maybe 6.5 right now)
- dwarf sunflowers
- zinnias
- petunias
- california poppies
- snapdragons
- phlox
There are also 3 pumpkins plants (at least that's what I assume they are) growing out of the compost.
I think that's everything. Only the three perennials (blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries) were bought as plants. Everything else is from seeds.
