Veggie Garden in New England and Maritime Canada

I'm WAY out of my growing zone at this point and I would love to have feedback on what works and what does not for those of you in this area. 

As you might already know, I have a unique selection of heirloom garden seeds available at Mary's Heirloom Seeds.  I am in the process of adding a few more varieties and any suggestions would help.

And now on to the garden!  According to Mother Earth News, the top 10 crops for the Maritime Canada and New England region are: Carrot, Cherry Tomato, Cucumber, Slicing Tomato, Summer Squash, Onion, Pole Beans, Snap peas, Lettuce and Garlic.

Extra Dwarf Pak Choy

Here's were this region varies from the previous...Mother Earth News suggests that you plant (inside) in March.  Seed varieties to plant in March are: Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrot, Celery, Chard, Bean, Fennel, Leek, Lettuce, Onion, Pak Choy, Peas, Peppers, Radish, Rhubarb, Radicchio, Spinach, Tomato and Herbs.

My advice to anyone getting started:
-Plant ONLY Heirloom Seeds.  Find out why...
-Plant Basil!!!  It's easy.
-More easy varieties are: lettuce, beets, radish, turnips and borage.
-Try Peat Pellets for seed-starting made easy.
-Plant more seeds than you think you'll need.  Stuff happens!
-Take notes or keep a log of what works, what didn't work, questions and comments.  Or blog about it!

Pink Oxheart Tomato (my favorite)

If you are looking for additional help for natural or organic pest control check out "Natural and Organic Pest Control." I use Neem Oil for powdery mildew when I just can't get rid of it any other way.
Consider Companion Planting for natural pest control and healthy veggies.
