Picking out which varieties to grow is definitely a highlight of gardening. You can pick and choose veggies that look nice, have great descriptions, or even just for the name. I've done all three and as with any choice, some work and some could be better. This is what I am planning to plant in the 2011 MKG (* denotes a favorite):
Tomatoes: Sungold cherry*, Black Krim, Ginger's Golden Delicious (a local heirloom)*, Isis Candy cherry, San Marzano, and another three or so that I'll pick out at the nursery
Peppers: Giant Aconcagua*, Alma Paprika*, Corno di Toro, Golden California Wonder, Pretty Purple Pepper, Yellow Hungarian Wax, Padron
Tomatillo: Purple de Milpa
Eggplant: Casper*, Rosa Bianca, Diamond
Corn: Blue Jade
Sweet Potatoes: Bush assortment from Sand Hill Preservation Center
Beans: An assortment of the seeds I have left over from last year
Summer Squash: Sunburst, Zephyr*, Spineless Beauty, Cocozelle
Winter Squash: Buttercup, Waltham Butternut, Thelma Sanders, Galeux D'Eysines pumpkin*
Cucumbers: Painted Serpent*, Lemon, Diva
Melons: Ambrosia cantaloupe* and a watermelon
I never like to make too detailed a plan because there are always surprises at the nursery. I'm excited to see what varieties are available there now! Drop a note in the comments to share what varieties you're growing this year.
