Vegetables: These are some basic staples we grow every year. We are pretty much out of garden space right now, but if we had more, there are so many other vegetables we’d like to try to grow. We’re thinking about possibly rotating the vegetables and growing one every other year. But we can’t decide which one to delete from our annual list.
