These random plants - zucchini and German chamomile - are the first crops to go into the vegetable beds. Mainly it's because they were the ones that really needed to get out of their pots in the greenhouse, but also because (pardon me) they were the experimental acceptable losses. If it turned out something was going to get chomped right away, we could deal with these and go on. But so far the deer fence seems to be keeping the beasts out. Our fingers are still crossed, regardless.
Next will be 2 tomato plants - the Early Girl that Vanessa refused to let me leave town without (I think she's getting kickbacks) and another, coincidentally an Oregon Spring, that our neighbor gave us as a seedling. Growing tomatoes outside in our climate (dangerously within the fog belt) can be "risky," but we'll also have a couple of cherry tomato varieties in the greenhouse as a backup. I'll probably plant the same varieties outside as well as an experiment.
