My tomatoes are just about finished and I'll collect the greens and ripen them in the garage which should last until late November.

Have you ever had pickled green tomatoes? They're awesome! I got a few jars going now and can't wait. I use mainly pickling spice, dill, caraway and a touch of garlic. Next year I'm gonna grow my own dill.

My real interest is if anyone else is going to run winter crops. Ive got my beds ready for the Broccoli, cauliflower, Napa cabbage, Cabbage(Green/purple/red), Bok Choi and Pak Choi. will also be rooting my Rhubarb bed for spring. Anyone else running some thing I've not thought about?

I'd love to except we can get 6' of snow. Next year I'm gonna do hoop houses for an early and late crop and also bump my tomatoes up a notch.

The story of glass gem corn. Seedsman Greg Schoen got the seed from Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee man, now in his 80's, in Oklahoma. He was Greg's "corn-teacher". Greg was in the process of moving last year and wanted someone else to store and protect some of his seeds. He left samples of several corn varieties, including glass gem. I grew out a small handful this past summer just to see. The rest, as they say is history. I got so excited, I posted a picture on Facebook. We have never seen anything like this. Unfortunately, we did not grow out enough to sell. Look for a small amount for sale starting in August 2011. Thanks, bill

Seeds Trust is probably most famous for its trip behind the Iron Curtain in 1989. President Bill McDorman personally carried back over 60 varieties of delicious tomatoes from Siberia and also made a good friend along the way.

Organic, heirloom, and native seeds are quickly increasing in popularity. Seeds Trust offers tips for understanding and purchasing these seeds.

Spent most of the morning planting veggies, what a relaxing time.
There are 33 tomatoes and 60 different pepper plants. Put corn in some containers around the garden too.

Not sure what they are, havent grown them before, there was a gentleman at one of the nurseries we were at looking for veggies, and he recommended those peppers as the ones to grow, so we took his advise...they are doing ok, the peppers seem to have a bit of trouble getting started, hopefully they will take off soon.

Harvested some radishes,lettuce, carrots and had a huge salad for lunch today, yummm

g0dzilla · Jun 13, 2012

Mmmmm looks like it's going to be a tasty salad Mrs babba. Got to love freshies.
