We have started with the staples that tend to do well here: a few varieties of tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, eggplant, and peppers. I think we will also try carrots, melon, and a few other squash varieties. The herbs generally do well, too. Our mint is starting to bounce back after the winter and we'll have basil, parsley, cilantro, dill, lemon balm and sage. :)
