Susan’s Garden – 2025
We’re just starting to put together our plans for the next growing season. We’ve only gotten a few seed catalogs so far, which means there are a lot more decisions to make!
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! If you see an asterisk (*) after a variety name, that indicates a new variety we're going to try.VEGETABLES:
Here's what we plan to grow in our vegetable garden during the 2025 garden season. To visit the web pages of any of the seed sources listed, go to the Links page under the Guides menu on this website. The list of sources is by no means exhaustive but it will give you some ideas. Always check with your local independent garden center first! Note that any varieties followed by an asterisk (*) are new to us.
