New to gardening in the Pacific Northwest?

You can see we get almost No heat units at this time of year and very few as the months go by but we can grow some things very easily. Notice how the berries always grow and everything is green? It's beautiful. I was on the Snohomish country extension web site looking at the requirements for a master gardener and I found this nice little list of EASY Veggies to grow. If you are new to gardening this list is for you!


EASY
BEET
COLLARDS
KALE
MUSTARD GREENS
PEAS
SWISS CHARD
BUSH BEANS
GREEN ONIONS
LEAF LETTUCE
RADISHES
SUMMER SQUASH
TURNIPS




Now don't let this list discourage you. Carrots, grow fine just hard to germinate, and your favorites may be able to grow here but they take some work and education etc. These are the full proof plants. Kids can grow these plants, and so can you. These plants will grow on their own if you but put them into the ground. Beginners here you are!

It's only a beginning ....there is more to come.
