We’re getting there in southern Ohio. Another couple weeks and I’ll have plants in the ground. I have 18 tomato plants ready, still need to condition them to direct sun. Lemon boys (my favorite), Mr. Stripeys, Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes, a Cherokee Purple, and a Black Krim. I grew some Cayenne peppers from seed and their doing well. If I have nothing but Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, and Okra I will be happy, maybe some cucumbers since they do so well in my garden.
Tomatoes, green beans, corn, dry beans, onions and potatoes are big here. I also like to have fresh spinach, lettuce, herbs and lettuce. I really missed growing the tomatoes, peppers, and spinach indoors this winter, so I will try not to be such a slacker this fall, and get that stuff going for my indoor fresh winter produce.
We go through huge amounts of canned tomatoes, though last year, I just froze a bunch and use them however I need to rather than canning them - too hot!
The green beans come in soon enough, that I manage to can quite a few. The later harvest I freeze, and then we let them go and Hubby cleans the pods away from the dry beans.
We dehydrate some stuff, but again - the heat. I think this year, I’m going to plug the dehydrator into the outdoor receptacle and pull one of the patio tables over there to set it on.
