I'm getting pretty excited to start my outdoor garden this spring. I made sure to order my seeds earlier than last year, it seems more and more heirloom seed websites are running out of stock sooner each year.
I'm going to start a lot of stuff early indoors in February, I want to try and cheat an early harvest so when my Dad is visiting this summer I can feed him healthy fruits & vegetables.
Are you going to start early? And what are you planting?
Last year was my first all organic garden, so I tried just about anything I could get my hands on, and did little batches here and there of lots of different fruits & vegetables. This year I am only growing what I felt A) grew the best & B) what I ate the most.
Tomatoes:
Chocolate Stripe
Amish Paste
Belgium Black Pineapple
Beduin
Beefsteak
Placero
Bloomsdale Spinach
Rocky Top Mix Lettuce
Old Homestead Pole Beans
Carrots:
Parisienne
Danvers Half Long
Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn
Onion - Flat Of Italy
Peppers:
Italian Pepperoncini
Habenero
Serrano
Yellow Hook Squash
Black Beauty Zucchini
Herbs:
Russian Tarragon
Lemon Basil
Italian Giant Parsley
Genovese Basil
Will be getting bare roots of Strawberries closer to spring.
Stuff already in the ground:
Blueberries
Raspberries
100yr old Rhubarb patch
2 40 yr old fruit trees, 1 apple, the other pear. I will be putting in some effort to treat these with organic sprays so I can reap harvests this year(they are both about 25 feet high so I'm not sure how I'm going to spray the whole tree).
It was -15 degrees last night, so thinking about being out in the garden with my hands in the warm dirt helps the time pass faster until I'm actually out there digging. Can't wait! This pinner of blue dream is also helping
