it's a bit cold here......... duh, it's SO COLD here
that the rhodo is little wires instead of leaves!
now this morning i planted sweet banana pepper seeds, they did very well last year and i began to make a sort of cooking sauce/mix out of them, onions, garlic and meat juices.
it was good with pork and chicken, i imagine it would also be good with beef.....
so this season i would like to can 48- 4oz jars of it
next i will plant the sweet italian peppers i use for drying, followed by the stuffing peppers, as well as the frying and fresh peppers for salads and pickling
we love sweet peppers around here
the tomatoes this year will be yellow, orange, green, black, white and pink..... with maybe two red slicers..... bernie found out he likes pink, and orange for slicers!
i am hoping to get a nice deep raised bed for carrots. i am going to grow them in sawdust & sand if i do.....
our little hard working garden is so cramped but still manages to really produce a lot of crops like beans.....( last year was great)
i long for a larger garden with the ability to plant out 50 pepper plants and 50 tomatoes and 100 feet of broccoli etc......
but for now, we have this
i am also trying to think of a second place to plant my pole beans
as i would like to have enough to freeze and can ( and two years worth)
so meanwhile
i wish you all dreams of the perfect garden, a balance of pests and preditors in your garden, high yeilds and new ungrown before crops
til next time

anyone got any experience with growing blueberries in containers in the north east?
No help with the blueberries - All I can remember about growing them in NE was to cage them so the birds didn't get all of them first.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever planted broccoli as a fall crop? It is so sweet, especially after a frost. That may not get you 100' of broccoli plants, but it may help... Set out seedlings in August or so.
