the gardening thread moondog Send a noteboard - 06/04/2013 01:04:36 AM

this post was inspired by the latest political cluster thread. or rather, inspired by a side-thread which i thought deserved its own place rather than be buried down in the bowels of that one so.... what are you growing, or plan to grow, this year?

so far i have about 25 tomatoes of various varieties:
roma
 san marzano
oregon
 yellow pear
moneymaker
 "heirloom" (these were seeds i saved from a tomato i bought at whole paycheck... er, foods)
no cherry tomatoes yet for some reason, but i have way more of the heirlooms than i have room for, so as of yet this is no big deal.

also already in the ground:
easter egg radishes
 green onions
beets
 orange and regular chard
spinach
 various lettuces
purple cabbage
 brussels sprouts
* various carrots

i also have seedlings for:
leeks
 jalapeno
cayenne
 thai chili
* habanero

and this is in addition to the blueberry and raspberry, purple collards, and yellow/red/white onions and garlic which survived being in the ground all winter only to pop up last month when the sun finally came out.
