a weird garden
This is my entry for the most unusual garden award. I live in the Canadian
wilderness in the summers and due to all the shade from the large pine trees, I must container farm on docks out into the lagoon. I have 54 tomato plants (24 species), peppers and cucumbers. I start the seedlings in San Diego and transport them here. These I grow mainly for seed to grow seedlings for sale in San Diego to pay my travel expenses to and fro. Any abundance of tomatoes will be a fringe benefit. Here is my list: Brandywine Giant Belgium Box Car Willie Black Krim Stump of the World Cherokee Purple Cherokee Green Earl's Faux Cowlicks Suddath Kosovo Watermelon Beefsteak' Omar's Lebonese Pineapple Marianna's Peace Kellogg's breakfast Black from Tula Prudens Purple Carbon Mortgage Lifter Mr. Stripey German Johnson New Big Dwarf (oxymoron?) Big Yellow Garden Peach Sungold f1 Black Cherry Riesenstaub Paul Robeson Green Zebra I should have no soil born pests and few, if any, air born pest. The deer, bear and foxes don't venture out on the floating docks. The geese and ducks like to snooze on the docks but, thus far, leave the foliage alone. It may be a new problem when I get ripe tomatoes. Never posted pics before so hope this attempt is successful. |
