Fruits & Vegetables List
Asparagus
Asparagus is a perennial vegetable that produces edible shoots or spears which may be harvested in April-May. Plants are male or female. Males do not have to expend energy in producing flowers and fruit and typically produce better crop yields. Plants eventually grow into towering ferns in the summer and then die off after frost and are dormant during the winter. Female plants produce red berries in late summer that will drop in autumn and can cause self-seeding problems.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Prefers organically rich soils that are evenly moist. Usually planted from roots (crowns). Roots take 2-3 years to produce a crop. May also be grown from seed, but this requires more expertise and care and takes about one year longer to produce the first crop. Plant roots or seed in early spring. Important to keep bed free of weeds.
Cucumber
A burpless cucumber plant is a vigorous, fast-growing annual vine that produces long, smooth-skinned, deep green cucumbers. The plants grow 12-18 inches tall, can spread up to 4 feet, and typically require staking or a trellis for support. They thrive in full sun and fertile soil, growing well in both gardens and containers
Cucumber
Slicing cucumber plants are vigorous vines that produce long, cylindrical cucumbers with thinner skins and juicy flesh, ideal for fresh eating. They can have a vining or compact "bush" growth habit and prefer full sun. The plants themselves have broad leaves and yellow flowers, and their tendrils help them climb as they grow
Cucumber
Pickling cucumber plants are vigorous, vining plants that can grow to 16 feet long, although they are often trained to grow vertically on trellises to save space. They have lobed leaves, tendrils for climbing, and produce prolific amounts of medium-green, blunt-ended fruit, often 3-6 inches long, which can have small, white spines
Eggplant
The Black Beauty eggplant is a renowned variety known for its large, bell-shaped, deep purple fruits. Maturing in approximately 80 days, this heirloom variety has been a staple since its introduction in the early 1900s. Its bushy plants are ideal for trellising, thriving in warm weather conditions. The Black Beauty eggplant is celebrated for its high yield and ease of cultivation, making it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. Black Beauty eggplants grow into bushy, spreading plants that reach up to 30 inches tall. They require full sun and well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Planting should occur when soil temperatures are at least 60°F, with seedlings started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Each plant can produce up to 12 large fruits, which should be harvested when they are 5-6 inches long and have a glossy appearance.
Start Indoors: Begin seedlings indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date to ensure optimal growth.
Provide Support: Use trellises or stakes to keep plants upright and fruits off the ground.
Maintain Soil Moisture: Mulch around plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
Monitor Temperature: Ensure soil temperatures are at least 60°F for planting
Eggplant
Japanese eggplants are elongated and slender, averaging 20 to 25 centimeters in length, and have an oblong to cylindrical shape, tapering slightly at the ends.
