Year of the Patriot: Gardens
Hawkdancer:
That would go good with lots of stuff, but it can be hard to grow to maturity! (lol). Got some hardened off blueberries planted, lots of buds and flowers, one early girl bush tomato, and a lavender in.

If the blueberry plants are first year pull all the blooms off them so they make roots and new growth this year, at least that is what I have read and done to all of mine through the years.
I have half a garden free after planting what little I need this year, I put out 4 hills of heirloom cantaloupes this afternoon.
Anybody have a good recommendation for a small seedless icebox watermelon, I have one bare spot left.

I grew a lot of Amish Paste maters this year. Got the juicer for the LEM 12 big bite and going to can a bunch with my daughter.
I saved a bunch of Green pepper seeds and not a dern one came up, so I got to buy some. Do you need to do anything special with them like tomato seeds?
HH~:
If they were hybrids they prolly will never germinate.

Most peppers are heirloom, I have saved seed from bells and jalapenos that came up OK.
I went looking for seedless watermelon seed, got a bit of sticker shock, 10 seeds $9. I found out seedless have to have a regular watermelon planted near them to be a pollinator because they are sterile.
I love kale and while I was on the seed site I ordered a bunch of multicolored exotic kale varieties, again big bucks but I like the stuff.
Red Russian was the only colorful variety I planted last year but I liked the way it looked and tasted.
The picture is the greens patch after the ice storm, almost a foot of snow and temps in the low teens for a week. It weathered the storm quite well and sprang back in a week or two to be beautiful again.
