Complete 2023 Grow List + Perennials

A benefit of this garden tour is that I’ve spent time doing things I don’t normally do, like comb through my spreadsheets and write down every single thing we are growing in the garden this year.

Since so many of you won’t be able to. be here in person and becuase this is a really big chunk of intelluctual property, I wanted to be sure you all have access to this information.

While some of these varieties are new, the majority of what’s on this list are tried and true favorite varieties we have been growing for years. I didn’t exhaustively write out every radish we grow, but other than that, it’s pretty exhaustive.

The big picture:

  • 156 varieties of vegetables (I rarely count this up, but WOW)

  • 37 flower varieties

  • 12 apple varieties

  • 10 blueberry varieties

  • 7 honeyberry varieties (mostly new to us)

  • 4 strawberry varieties

  • 4 pear varieites

  • 1 apricot (that still hasn’t fruited for us)

New to us varieties are indicated with an ^.
