What veggies for 8b?

Besides peppers, what kind of veggies can I grow easily in 8b? I want to include them in a flower bed in the front of my house. They will be mixed with salvia, milkweed, marigolds, lillies, cosmos, zinnias, coleus, coneflower, etc.

What veggies for 8b?
tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, cukes, eggplant
Reply:tomatoes, esp the little ones - eg cherry or grape


cucumbers


squash


zucchini


potatoes are great fun - esp when it is time to harvest.


There actually is a way you can grow potatoes and tomatoes as one plant. I forget the details but could find them


if you have a little extra space carrots and radishes are fun and relatively quick. Plant them together and the radish





I would definitely also add some sunflowers - not the giant but smaller ones. It is fun to watch the birds ( esp goldfinches) sitting on the head of the flower picking out the seeds!!!





avoid peppers and lettuce and celery - they need too much watering and are not reliable





good luck and have fun
