We grew zucchini, green beans, peas, greens of all sorts. We had to grow the tomatoes in pots in another part of the yard that had sun, though. Gardeners have to be flexible, crafty and think out of the box most of the time. I've totally given up on growing peppers in the ground.

I grow tomatoes, summer squash and lots of fresh herbs. The herbs don't mind partial sun and fresh herbs really make a difference.

Because of the Late Blight last year, I did a bunch of research and ordered in Striped German (Rodale says those are the only things that survived for them last year) with my daughter when she ordered from Johnny's, and I ordered Legend through Tomato Growers Supply. Between the two of them, I figure we should get some tomatoes this year. It’s not even a case of it paying – it’s a case of even getting what you want, especially if you want something specific.

I also bought seeds at the local dollar store-3 pkgs for a dollar!-and was ready to go by the 2nd week of january. The same friend was in a panic when she couldn't get what she ordered because the seed company was sold out, and she was unhappy with the substitution. This year, she ordered with me, and we split the shipping cost. Now, we both have exactly what we want, and are ready for seed starting in March. It pays to order early!
