    Peas:

    ??? Snow peas - whatever is in my seed stash


    Greens:

    Red Russian kale (Not my favorite flavor-wise, but my best performer so far; scarlet is recently giving it a run for it's money though)

    Blue curled Vates kale

    Scarlet kale

    Lacinato kale (Only started trying this variety last spring and I can't get it to last much beyond setting first true leaves, but kiddo likes the idea of "Dinosaur" plants so I'm giving it one more go.)

    Black seeded Simpson lettuce

    Mesclun mix from my seed stash

    Bloomsdale Longstanding Spinach


    Annual(ish) herbs:

    Parsley


    Garlic:

    (Fall planted)

    Inchelium

    Mystery (I think it might be elephant)


    No carrots or chard this year. I have an onion allergy so those are always out. If the mystery garlic turns out to be elephant that will be gifted or sold because it's a leek (onion). If I can find the space, I'll grow butterhead or crisphead lettuce.

    I'm not starting cabbage or broccoli seed this year. I might buy some plants, though.

    Mostly using up old seed this year and not buying new seed.


    Snow peas:

    Oregon Giant


    Carrots:

    Scarlet Nantes

    Danvers Half Long

    Red Cored Chantenay

    Cosmic Purple


    Onions:

    Red Creole

    Texas Legend


    Radishes:

    Cherry Bell

    Crimson Giant


    Lettuce:

    Romaine Dark Green Cos

    Salad Bowl

    Buttercrunch

    Black Seeded Simpson


    Kale:

    Vates Blue

    Lacinato Rainbow mix


    Other greens:

    Collards -- Georgia South

    Mustard -- Southern Giant Curled

    Turnip -- Seven Top

    Arugula -- Peppery Slow-Bolting


    Probably will skip potatoes this year, although I have a question that might change my mind. I'll ask that question another time though.

    Lettuce: I have a bunch of varieties, so I may try planting some as a living mulch under the tomatoes like Dawn advised on the facebook group. Among the varieties are a few must-grow, mainly just for the novelty

    black seeded simpson

    cimarron

    ear of the devil

    drunken woman frizzy headed - with that name, who can resist?


    Carrots: another I may try planting mixed with the lettuce. I absolutely fail at carrrots, but I'm determined to try again. Most of these are the not-orange variety. I have a whole collection of solar system varieties (lunar, cosmic, atomic, etc) so they're on my list, plus some short varieties.


    Peas:

    Blauwschokker (what can I say, I like weird names)

    Purple Snow

    Dwarf Gray

    Sugar Ann Dwarf

    Lincoln


    Radish: assortment that I usually plant along the edges with my carrots. Not sure of varieties.

    Jen, I did the lettuce under tomatoes thing a couple years ago and it went gangbusters. Highly recommend the technique! When family would come over I would give them scissors and grocery bag and tell them to take as much as they could clip. I'll do it again this year if I can get the area worked in time. The only reason I didn't do it last year was because I had a black thumb when it came to lettuce for some reason.

    In my opinion, lacinato kale is the best tasting. I'm sorry you have trouble with it Megan. One year in fall I planted a red/purple bed of plants in those colors. It was beautiful until the temps fell to single digits. EVERYTHING died except the scarlet kale. I left it and planted around it in spring hoping to get seeds. I don't think it ever flowered. So I am fond of Scarlet kale, too. I find the Russian kales tough, so I quit growing them. I am a sucker for new or different kale varieties, I will have a hard time choosing this year.
