This was our first full year having a garden here in Texas. Chet had a small raised garden in Arizona, but nothing planted in the ground. We had a fairly large area here so he planted a variety of things there to see what would grow.
The zucchini grew to incredible sizes. The peppers were perfectly sized for stuffing; tomatoes were nice, but probably not enough of them for Chet. I asked for lots of onions, which I got - Texas sweet onions, green onions and some Vidalias, too, I think. He didn't label them, so we're not sure what was planted where.
The sweet corn and potatoes were disappointments. The corn was very tasty, but only grew in very small ears. Too little water, too many bugs?? The potatoes were extremely small - most no bigger than my thumb. Not sure what happened there. I know they didn't get in the ground on time because of the snowstorm in February.
We also got some nice green beans and shallots; some great head lettuce that got eaten quickly. Had to get that harvested before the giant rabbit got it all.
We got lots of garlic, too, which is great because I use it a lot in cooking. We haven't seen any vampires here either, so I know it's working.
