Interesting you should ask because I just made a list of all the seeds I harvested from last year :-)

Butternut squash
Basil
Romano beans seeds
Scarlet runner beans
Oregano
umbrian peas
chives
Beef beans
Arugula
Bad arugula - bugs ate preferentially
Black Simpson lettuce
San Marzano tomatoes
Bell peppers
Zucchini
Cucumber
Romaine
Cilantro/coriander

After looking at that list I realize how obsessive I was. This year I’m going to knock it down to whatever I can fit into for raised beds. I also grew beets and carrots and swiss chard and onions, but they produce seeds the second year so I don’t have any seeds yet.

Hubby grew Giant pumpkins, corn and potatoes. So he says he’s going to fill up the huge garden with all corn. It should be beautiful. I love the way corn rows look. We got a lot of corn the first year but the second year of the crows got it all. I figured out how to keep the deer away but the crows are a lot more problematic. Maybe with the whole garden full we will either have very fat crows or we will get to eat some ourselves.
