Susan’s Garden – 2024
NOTE: In addition to this chart showing which vegetable varieties Bill and I will be growing, you will find a second chart underneath it that lists the annual flowers I’ll be growing from seed. If you see an asterisk (*) in either of the charts, that indicates a new variety we’re going to try.
