Next Weekend: Chapter 1 in the Great Garden Adventure

After a quick trip to check out our garden this week, the plan was made to load up on seeds and plants next weekend and commence to planting. The space looks huge, but when I look at the list of items we're thinking of growing, it fills up fast:

Eggplant, Tomatoes of all kinds, Yellow squash, Zuchinni, Lettuce, Mesclun mix, Leeks?, Beets, Green Beans, Chili Peppers, Bell peppers, Cucumbers - reg and pickling, Spinach, Arugla, Collard Greens, Chard, Chives, Scallions, Onions, Broccoli, Soybeans, Peas?, Rhubarb?, Brussel Sprouts?, Chayote Squash, Butternut Squash, Rosemary, Basil, Lemongrass, Fennel, Mint, Marigolds

Whew....

Ix-nay on the Chayote Squash. I looked it up today and you can't buy seeds (they don't survive when harvested or some such nonsense). Apparently, you have to buy a Chayote Squash, let it sprout, then bury it and do various other things to it that take a long while. Problem 1: Cannot buy a Chayote Squash in C-U (which is why we were going to grow it in the first place, right?). Problem 2: Too late for such shenanigans.
