			4 each of Big Boy, Better Boy and Rutger's Tomatoes planted.  Looking for Roma plants.  Not sure about peppers this year, lots left in the freezer from last year.  A double row of Rattlesnake green beans.  half a dozen rows of butterpeas.  Two short rows of Okra (yes, it's really too early, but they will grow anyway).  Eight rows of sweet corn.  Two mounds each of straight-neck squash, zucchini and cucumbers (for pickling).  Five long rows of purple-hull peas.  Four rows of new potatoes, three rows of sweet Texas yellow onions.  I have enough space left for the Roma tomatoes, half a dozen pepper plants if I change my mind, and sweet potatoes.  I found some romaine lettuce seeds I didn't know I had, so I've planted twelve starter pods, will see what comes up, and if they will have time to mature before it gets too hot.  Pictures would be pretty useless right now, just a big plowed patch is all it looks like!  I did notice today that the new potatoes are starting to peak above the dirt! Does the two blueberry plants I planted today qualify? I'm strongly considering this fall making a raised bed area for asparagus, plus a raised bed for a herb garden. I've had a herb garden in the past, but the oregano eventually took everything over, and I had to kill it all off.
