Vegetables

This page lists all the different vegetables I’ve tried.  Links to each vegetable give growing notes.  My garden is in my backyard on a steep slope facing SouthEast, so some areas get more sun than others.  This list was started as a subset of the list from the essential “Golden Gate Gardening” by Pam Pierce
