Or, at least, plan to plant?

I will try to make potatoes from old potatoes.

In most cases, there are dozens of plants of each of these:

Garlic (13 varieties)
Onions (just scallions)
Spinach (5 varieties)
Peas (3 varieties)
Cilantro (4 varieties)
Broccoli (4 varieties)
Cauliflower (3 varieties)
Cabbage (2 varieties)
Kohlrabi (2 varieties)
Lettuce (6 varieties)
Arugula (3 varieties)
Mustard greens (3 varieties)
Brussels sprouts
Kale (5 varieties)
Collards
Eggplant (2 varieties)
Peppers (6 varieties; 1 sweet, 5 different hot)
Daikon (2 varieties)
Snap beans (1 bush, 2 pole)

We also have pears, cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and figs.

Nothing yet.  But I have built a second strawberry box.  A third one is planned.  We have day-neutral strawberries in the first one.  We plan to put June-bearing berries in the 2nd and 3rd boxes.  Obviously they won't do much this year, but we are planning ahead to next year.

I weeded the raspberry canes this week.  The 24 canes we planted last year have increased to 62!.  The new ones won't produce until next year, but the parent canes are obviously happy, so we expect a good crop.  We plan to plant a second row this year.

We are planning to plant some more haskap bushes, to add to the six we already have, and some more black currants (just one right now).

We intend to clear a bit of meadow to make a vegetable garden.  That's going to be a lot of work, which won't pay off until next year.

If I can get all the work done this year, next year should be awesome!

Wow, that is a lot!

You must have a lot of space!

Sounds good Kathy!

I think I will plant tomatoes and squash and potatoes and peppers.  Maybe more.

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on Today at 07:38:34 AMWhat is KSLS?

Khang Starr Lemon Starburst. Khang bred them, and set a precedent of only giving the seeds away. I got five seeds as a gift from another pepper grower, and will continue the tradition of sharing them freely. 🙂

Interesting, that is.

I may plant some onions.

Has anyone tried to grown squash, including zucchinis, UPWARDS to save space?

Has anyone tried to grown cucumbers UPWARDS to save space?

Has anyone tried to grown canteloupes UPWARDS to save space?

We do, but very large trees severely limit the areas that get enough sun for most vegetables. Crop rotation further complicates things, especially when so many are Brassicas.

You reminded me that I forgot the ipsquashes (3 summer types + delicata) and (lemon) cucumber.

Quote from: ChrissyRyan on Today at 09:03:51 AMHas anyone tried to grown squash, including zucchinis, UPWARDS to save space?

I have, and some work while others don't. It depends on how flexible the vines are and how heavy the fruits are. Delicatas climb pretty well (with guidance) even though their fruits are pretty heavy. I've never been able to get the summer squashes to climb.

YES! They were lemon cukes (small fruits), but I've seen it done with larger ones, too.

Cucumbers will grow up if you use the growing jars to support them, first used to make them grow straight!!

I never heard of growing jars.  I will need to look that up.

Thanks for the responses.

Are pablano peppers very hot? 

I decided to plant one.  I know green peppers and mild banana peppers are not hot.


I saw something called orange lunchbox peppers for sale.  Are those tasty?

I think the jalapeño and thin chili peppers are hot.  Sometimes I use those to prepare chili.

At least, the thin ones are rather hot.

Sometimes I will eat two peppers from the same plant.  It is odd that one can be very hot and the other mild.

Has that ever happened to you?
