I am doing almost all repeats this year:
roma tomatoes (plant basil and marigolds near to keep bugs away)
eggplant (super easy and a lot)
cucumbers
corn (this is my second attempt - critters got them last time)
green beans (super easy)
jalapeños (super easy)
romaine lettuce (easy - and critters don't like  )
I'm trying celery this year, b/c DS loves it
hopefully the dried blood and new mesh fence will help increase my yield!
I'm putting my strawberry in a topsy turvy this year - to deter critters.
I couldn't find watermelons this year - I'm going to try to look again - they grow easy, but picking them at the right time is hard

So far I bought everything I could find... that was already grown so to speak. Every single spice, of coarse like 4 different kinds of tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, onions. Is it too late to plant lettuce and peas and such? I didn't realize that you couldn't buy them as small plants ... but I really wanted them this year. This is the first year we are doing more then just tomatoes and cucumbers lol
