What is everyone trying for the first time this season?
New technology, trying ancient techniques, new schedule or even just playing around and seeing if something wild works.

I am starting peppers seeds at the end of March instead of beginning of February since they did not produce much last year.
Same with direct sowing beans. Did that early May and nothing sprouted.

sesame in the super dry super sunny part of my garden that suffered the most from drought last summer. I think I might be able to get away with it but Im like 15 degrees too far north on the border of three hardniess zones with wack-ass variation in weather so we’ll see

Pretty excited for good-king-henry. I have it in pots right now but I’m hoping to grow between fruit trees ultimately if it catches 🤞

Broccoli raab, and row covers for my brassicas.

This will be our first full season with our new greenhouse, and after keeping some small seedlings alive all winter in our cold (zone 4/5 NH) – I am excited to see what else we learn this year. New crops include some new squash varieties (trombocino), pepita pumpkins for the first time, and an overall expansion to our garden. I am also growing 50+ pepper and tomato starts for a neighbor, so that is a little stressful though these are two things I have been starting for a long time, but still – now someone else’s garden is relying on my efforts. But overall, I am feeling really optimistic for this year even as I still have 20+ inches of snow in my garden.

I’m doing long green (beans) and begonias. Also I actually got the aubergines in on time to have huge plants ready when the greenhouse is warmed up. My paprika is flowering, not good, but my Carolina Reaper is perfect in size.

Peruvian ground cherries! A personal favorite that I’ve never attempted to grow.

I’m trying more things in pots on the patio. Like basil, cilantro, lettuce and mini cucumbers.

Trying a new summer squash that was suggested to be resistant to squash vine borers. It’s Tatume. I had good luck with trombochino last year and we eat a ton of summer squash.

New plants for me are ground nuts and duck potato.
Starting a squash bed in an over grown area by digging a 2×2 hole 1 shovel deep, placing the sod around the hole. Adding manure. Planting 2 to 3 squash per hole. Mulching heavy.

Leysa peppers. I grow Corno di Toro and Gyspy every year. Adding these.
Also petunias. I started the seeds about two weeks ago.

It’s all new to me. First time gardening. I’ve got onions, some peppers and garlic going right now. Plan on doing some tomatoes and strawberries as well.
