2011 Garden
While the future of my tomato and pepper patches is in doubt there will be a garden never the less.Everything else including a few herbs will be planted for this year.
Pumpkins/Winter Squash: This is one of my must plant crops after tomatoes and peppers. I have several to plant this year.Atlantic Giant,Winter Luxury,New England Pie,Dickerson,Australian Butter ,Turner Faimly, Kobacha and a couple others.My sisters kids have fun watching these grow. Green Beans: The only one I have right now is Jade.This is a fine quality green bean that grows on bush plants and takes about 60 days. Snap Pea: Lacy Lady 2 A good semi leafless snap pea with a nice sweet flavor and is a dwarf plant which does not need a trellis.Pods are about 3 to 3 1/2 inches. Cucumbers: County Fair A few carrots and radishes Watermelon: Ali baba and Congo. Cantaloupe: Amish Other melons are Sweet Freckles and Tiger. Maybe a couple others. Not sure about corn.What seed I have are a few years old and are an sh2 hybrid So not sure if they are still good.Also there is the issue of preventing a cross with local fields containing Frankencorn (GMO) . After this everything is up in the air.At least there will be a few goodies out there this year. Kevin |
