Second batch

I also planted a number of gourds including
Apple small
Tiny Bottle
Corsican
Apple Large
Nest
Long Handle

I see now that it was foolish to start the gourds inside as they are growing quite fast and maybe root bound by the time I can put them outside but the heart wants what the heart wants...

My Spring garden will be planted tomorrow, weather permitting. This year I am trying
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Cabbage
Lettuce
Spinach
Arugula
Onions (bunching)
Chives
Carrots
Radish
Mustard Greens
Potatoes (Yukon Gold, Purple Majesty thus far)

As to where I am going to put all those tomato plants (2 per variety), I am not quite sure yet. I have began a campaign to borrow unused yards but I hope I have enough 5 gallon buckets to accommodate most of them. I will begin building The Cage tomorrow as well.

Stay tuned...

  2. Thanks Stephanie! I am trying every variety of tomato I can think of to find my favorites. So far, Black Russian tomatoes are on top of my favorites list. I do want a more acidic tomato though, so I am trying Abe Lincoln and Box Car Willie to see if I like them. Do you grow vegetables? I already know you grow very beautiful flowers!

  3. Oh Gosh I'm so jealous, I wish I had all that variety! With all the seeds I'm buying I had to limit myself to two kinds this year. :(

  4. Diana, someday I hope to settle on a few favorites. I will always save a little room for trying new varieties though

  5. That's a lot of tomatoes! Do you put tags on each one in the garden?
