This Saturday is the first Farmer's Market.
This Saturday is the C-U Herb sale at Lincoln Square.
This Saturday is the Common Ground Food Co-op's Plant Sale.
After a couple days of rain, my yard should be *perfect* for digging.
Someone was saying today that if everyone put vegetable/fruit/nut-bearing plants and trees in their yards, we'd be better off. I think that's not so off the mark.
I'm thinking tomatoes, maybe some peas, maybe some cukes. And a pot of herbs---basil, sage, chives, and maybe some lemon balm.
So...what are the "must have" plants *you* would choose for a garden?

I *must* find a free weekend to put in my raised beds! Awck, where did my spring go?
I *must* have tomatoes and bell peppers. I want to try some new things this summer.
I am hoping for some sunflowers, but the damn squirrels always bite the flower heads off. I swear, if I had a shot gun...
tomatoes and peppers here too. Add basil for fresh pesto all sumer and zucchini for bread and general munching. So far we have put in carrots, sugar snap and regular peas, radishes, turnips, marigolds, onions, oregono, basil, and two more veggies which are slipping my mind. We also have perennials - catnip, strawberries, and hops. I'm going to head out to the Bloomington farmers market here ina minute.
I bought herbs this weekend. I bought basil, sage, dill, cilantro, greek oregano, and rosemary for cooking.
And I bought chamomile, lemon verbena, and spearmint for tea.
Next week---vegetable plants in containers.
