I enjoy making things – artsy-crafty things. Now, I feel the urge to expand my ability to “make” things, such as food. I’ve thought about it before, but recently decided that this is the year that I would finally get serious about gardening. I know it’s a bit late for certain types of crops, but I’m not going to let my procrastination stop me. Better late than never.

Based on some quick research for the climate in which I live, here’s what I can possibly plant. These are foods that I’m sure my family will eat.

• Cucumbers
• Lettuce
• Peas
• Raspberries
• Strawberries
• Tomatoes

I guess a trip to the gardening section of the local hardware store is in order. I’ll post more later.

What are some relatively low-maintenance crops for zone 6A?
