Spring will be here before we know it. What are your must have vegetables in your garden?

Tomatoes,onions,potatoes peppers sweet corn.

Sweet corn, sugar peas, onions, beets, carrots and tomatoes are necessities. Other plantings are shell peas, kohlrabi, beans, turnips, radishes, zucchini, butternut squash, and cucumbers. I also plant a few new or weird things every year just for fun. I can't grow sweet peppers or eggplant for some reason and potatoes are too labor intensive for as cheap as I can buy them locally up here.

Have you tried growing potatoes in a large pot or a plant bag?
Just try it, there's nothing like a fresh potato at least a couple times a year.
Start with a couple inches of soil , plant the seed potato, cover with a couple inches of soil.
When the plant is about 6 inches tall, add more soil , do this until the pot or bag is full.
Then tend it more often than your regular garden , unless you plant raised beds.
These tend to dry out faster than flat gardens.

String beans, zucchini, tomatoes, radishes, peppers. And this year is a cabbage year for us. Only 3-4 jars of kraut left.

Sweetcorn, potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, pickles, radishes, onions and carrots this year. I really don't need to plant much as most of my neighbors share their excess produce with each other but I enjoy working in the garden.

I am not in the Midwest more of the Great Plains (which start @ Des Moines iOWA and go all the way to the Colorado foothills). Last Year we had 170 tomato plants, 170 pepper plants, 1.5 ac of 4 sweet, Indian and miniature corn plantings, potatoes, g.beans, snow peas, broom corn, and 50 hills of squash, gourds, and pumpkins. All no tilled in an area listed as the Exceptional Drought category by USDA ---- please let me enjoy this time off scooping snow and gathering wood BEFORE we talk garden for 2024 !!!!
