Default Tomato Planting Time

Yesterday was planting day for tomatoes, eggplants and Silver Queen corn. These are the tomatoes up by the house that Pickles planted out and mulched. They're mainly the ones used for canning and slicers, ones we like to do every year. The two eggplants are on the near end and later there will be a few buckets with zinnias and dill on the pallets.

Varieties include one each of Early Girl, Red Siberian, Rio Grande, Creole, Marianna’s Peace, Rosella cherry, Bella Rosa, German Johnson, Homestead and Mom’s Paste.




These are the ones down in the garden and most are either varieties I'm trying for the first time (mostly Russian and German ones; Carolyn seed thru Farmer Shawn) plus a few from last year that I felt deserved a second chance. Last summer they were in too much shade and hopefully that's been corrected this year. I forgot to mulch the pots but will this afternoon.

Varieties include one each of Koroleva Rynka, Honigsüsser Erlöser (orange heart), KBX, Süsse Friesin cherry, Inzhir Rosovyi, Vladyka (pink heart), SOTW, Early Annie and “Fake Annie” . That last one is a potato leaf variety, one of two Early Annies grown last year that was way different from the other regular leaf one right out of the seed pack. So we named it Fake Annie.




The Silver Queen is in a bed this year for the first time and was planted yesterday in seven circles.



The Seneca Sunrise corn planted in a different bed on 4/14 is coming up fine. 16 seeds were sown per hill and will thinned to 8.



The next planting window is May 4-6 when we'll be planting various beans, cukes, squashes, melons, sweet potatoes and okra. At that point the garden will be basically “in”.
