Great list. I would add peppers and herbs. Herbs are relatively expensive to buy and pretty easy to grow from seed. They do not take up a lot of space in the garden and can be dried for use in winter so you can be self sufficient in the herb department without too much effort and cost. They also make great companion plants so can be tucked in between other vegetables.

My winters (NC Piedmont) aren't cold enough to get traditional garlic to do well, elephant garlic is the replacement which handles summer heat well. 1/2 zucchini 1/2 crook neck squash. Add kolrabi and the garden is perfect. Love turning the kale into mini palm trees over the course of the year. The taste of kale is most improved in the coldest of weather due to the survival technique, as temperatures get closer to freezing water is removed from the leaves to the root causing sugars to remain in the leaf and a wilt to reduce surface area to frost. As the temperature rises the water is returned, but not completely, thus the sugar/sweeter taste starts to develop. The cycle continues each temperature drop. A word of caution, never apply water until after the wilt has recovered or excessive water will enter the plant creating cell structure damage. It is better to wait till the wilt is recovered and only lightly water in the early afternoon if the temperature allows absorption before the next approach to a freeze.

For me, it’s all of the above, plus kohlrabi (I can’t get cabbage to grow without severe pest problems, but kohlrabi fills that gap just fine for our family!), winter squash and pumpkins (talk about nutritional foods!), dried bean varieties and gallons of jalapeños. I plant to feed an army but it’s only for a family of four. TBH, this year is all about using up old seed stock to replenish our supply with fresh seed this year, and to build our compost with all of the vines and plant material. We live on a clay and rock hill, so I need all of the organic material I can get!

I try to grow at least one winter squash each year but struggle with lettuce and spinach, so if I was limited to 10, I’d leave them and grow my winter squashes. We also grow either watermelon or cantaloupe and leeks and both sweet and hot peppers. I grow a LOT of parsley and sub it and basil in for lettuce on burgers and such. And we happily discovered how easy it was to grow leeks last year and will grow them again. I’ve also got a perennial bed of asparagus and another of strawberries. We tucked blueberry bushes in with the flower bed and we have a trellis of thornless blackberries and plan to add seedless table grapes next year. And, we grow our own cabbages for sauerkraut and inter plant them with radishes and bunching onions and marigolds. Once the cabbage is harvested in June, the sweet potato slips are usually ready and they go in that bed and as they spread out, I harvest the radishes and scallions. Cucumbers are a must, especially the little Kirby cakes. And I always find some space somewhere for turnips and carrots. I guess I’m way over 10, but we no longer have to buy veggies until the potatoes run out in March or April or I’m craving something odd like jicama or eggplant.

I don’t recall seeing this angle into your backyard. I love that wall! It’s so much better than your typical subdivision concrete monstrosities. Did you guys design it or was it there when you moved in? So this year is my year of tomatoes. This is Y2 on this balcony (last year was a mess trying to get used to the randomly super hot microclimate), so I have 10 indeterm tomatoes in grow bags (5 diff varieties), but I’m also trying to see if I can pull off a late dwarf variety called Arctic Rose from the Dwarf Tomato Project. It’s a super beautifully leafed variety! I love it for that alone. The fruits should be awesome too. ;) Then I have 3 ground cherries, and some celery from starts (who has the time to start it from seed?) some cucamelons, apple/space 80 cukes, and some bush summer squash hanging in baskets. Oh! And some peas in baskets but they’ll be dying out this month for sure. To be honest, I can’t seem to grow lettuce or onion from seed. Like, it’s embarrassing how hard it is for me.

I have a question for you. I must have missed a few small potatoes in the ground last summer/fall when i harvested them. I just noticed leaves popping up in the garden and i had planted nothing in that bed yet. Will they be any good? We had a pretty cold winter and the raised beds froze solid all the way day. The leaves just popped up this week. Was surprised to see the leaves there. Never had that happen before lol.

Yes! Volunteer potatoes are the only "volunteer" plants that I ever let grow in my garden, it happens almost every year and as long as they are not in the way of other plants I let them grow. They should do really well.

Our favorite long storing onion is called Copra and it is a Long-Day variety so it will grow really well in your area. They can store for up to 10 months. Most potato varieties will do fine for you.

You can cover your crops with a light fabric row cover to keep them off. Spraying with an insecticidal soap can help too. I did a video on that last summer, do a quick search of my channel and you can watch it.
