I posted my list for comments etc, plus I think it's great to share the varieties one is growing because the colors of fruits/veges I've never seen before is just amazing too me.
This so far is what I'm gonna be planting for my up coming season (I know some may be fruit so I apologies, I just wanted to get some opinion on what I'm growing):
Cherry Tomatoes here is the Black Sea Man variety - The colors of these include chocolate, white, red, pink, yellow, and bicolor cherry tomatoes. I've got 6 Topsy Turvys that I got for $2.50/e at Biglots, so I figured for $15 I'd give them a try, the Aphids worked me over time last season, so I thought I'd give these a try and see if I can control them a bit better.
Litchi Tomato - This is just such an interesting plant, here is a youtube at 4:42 he talks about the Litchi tomato btw. Also, this will last in zones 9a/b (that I'm aware of). So from what I understand this may be the first producer in the garden when it starts warming up, also this is an invasive plant with thorns EVERYWHERE. So depending on where you live it can be a good thing to keep critters away from them (I've read of people lining areas of their yard with this plant to keep unwanted guest out).
Purple Jalapenos and Yellow Jalapeno
cilantro
Mini bell pepper and other color - Colors include Red, Yellow, Orange, White, and the extra color I ordered looked like a really nice dark type which is claimed to be a Chocolate Color.
cucumbers - I decided on this FanFare variety because of the size, I figured it'd be a quicker ripen, and not so much it goes to compost from left over.
easter eggplant I know someone is playing on words to sell this over priced seed (IMO), however the plant looks so cool I've been suckered in :/
Red onions (I haven't decided on a variety yet)
Carrots - Nice color of carrots. I like trying to grow the rainbow.
Wonderberry - This is just such a interesting plant I had to try it for myself, I can't seem to find a whole lot of information about this plant so which is why I'll plant some out this season and try them. If anyone wants some seeds let me know, I doubt I could even handle 50 seeds worth of plants lol.
(I have a room I can plant inside the house, so these ones I was thinking about planting inside so they don't get too hot and maybe grow during they're off season. Which is probably going to house a small aquaponics system)
Celery - a red/pink variety that looks fun to grow.
Brocolli - I'm gonna be growing the purple variety cause I've read/heard it taste better.
Cauliflower It comes with an orange, purple, and green types. The picture looks Photoshopped but I'm okay with trying it out for a few bucks.
Nancy Buttercrunch Lettuce - My family says this is a great tasting lettuce (I have Arugula and Romaine planted right now)
