The Season's Seedlings

Well, it's been about a month, so I figure it's time for an update. We've ordered the seeds, planted them, and now we have seedlings! Here's a list of what we planted this year.

Peas:
Dwarf Gray Sugar Pea (my first time growing a sugar snap pea)
Tom Thumb Pea (a dwarf pea that I had success with last year)

Radishes:
Early Scarlet Globe Radish

Greens:
Arugula - Sylvetta (slower to bolt!)
Tainong Emperor Heading Mustard (Mr. Foliage ended up with seeds for this instead of the bok choi he had planned for)
Japanese Giant Red Mustard (Mr. Foliage's)
Spinach - New Zealand (also Mr. Foliage's - he likes the greens)

Herbs:
Parsley - Triple Curled (very useful to have around for cooking)
Basil - Sweet Genovese (I can already taste the pesto)
Cilantro - Slo-Bolt (Mr. Foliage's)

Cucumbers:
Japanese Climbing (I've never tried this one before)
Lemon Cucumber (I love the taste of this cuke, even though the leaves always end up with powdery mildew)

Tomatoes (six different kinds!):
Cream Sausage (determinate; first time growing this variety)
Black Plum (indeterminate; did this last year and loved it)
Yellow Pear (indeterminate and my favorite tomato to grow)
Nebraska Wedding (determinate; first timer for me - orange with a quaint name)
Speckled Roman (indeterminate; Mr. Foliage's pick)
Green Grape (determinate; also Mr. Foliage's)

Peppers:
Tolli's Sweet Italian (sweet red pepper)
Purple Beauty (sweet purple pepper)
Roberto's Cuban Seasoning (hot pepper, selected by Mr. Foliage)

Beans:
Soybean - Envy (for edamame!)
Purple Podded Pole Bean (Mr. Foliage's pick)

Eggplant:
Japanese White (one of Mr. Foliage's selections)

Carrot:
Shin Kuroda (Mr. Foliage's; a baby Japanese variety)

Beets:
Golden (Mr. Foliage's)

Flowers:
Globe Amaranth (not edible)
Drumstick - Billy Button (also not edible)
Nasturtium - Tip Top (edible - the flowers taste like pepper!)

Whew! We might have gone a bit overboard this year. I hope that it'll all fit between the two balconies. I've planted extras of the tomatoes and peppers, and plan to give those seedlings away to friends. We just wouldn't be able to handle more than one of each tomato and pepper variety, due to our space restrictions.

Okay, time to go admire the seedlings now.
