After the long, long, winter [View all]

we are finally getting some spring-like weather this week, and I'm getting pretty excited about the vegetable garden we've got planned for this year.

My hubby has already planted two lettuces, which are just coming up and look like little green dots in the soil.

In addition, in the cold frame, we've started cucumbers, Hungarian Hot Wax peppers, sugar snap peas, and Blue Lake green beans.

Hubby came home with a package of "asparagus bean" seeds a few weeks ago. Don't know if we'll actually try these or not. He always likes to try something sort of exotic every year. The picture on the front of the packet shows a green bean-like product only it's supposed to grow 2-3 feet long! We'll see about that one.

Hubby put the trellises up yesterday for the beans and the peas. We had to cover the lettuce rows both Saturday and Sunday nights because it was down into the 20s here overnight.

And, last but not least, we have some nice varieties of tomatoes in the works .... Early Girl, Better Boy, Roma, Beefsteak, Rutgers Heirloom, and one Moby Grape plant for me. These are the varieties of tomatoes that have always done well for us in the past.

What do other DUers plant in their veggie gardens?
