Hello friends!
I thought I would start a separate glog for everything non chilli. Now, I haven't started anything quite yet, but planning is very important for a successful grow. I started by doing a quick inventory of what I had. I plan on putting down my second batch of pepper seeds at the end of the month and starting the tomatoes roughly 10 days after that.
Turns out someone went a little crazy when buying cucumbers, I have 24 varieties, and at the most space to grow 20, and that's if there's only one plant per type. Amongst the seeds we have one type of cucumber that supposedly yields up to 400 fruits per plant. I also have two different white varieties.
Not the best picture possible, but it demonstrates my point.
The tomato seeds were not quite as overwhelming luckily, I should be able to grow all of the seeds I have.
I'm still a little undecided on the sweet peppers honestly, I might grow some of the purple/black ones as a novelty thing, but at the end of the day, sweet pepper take a lot of space and don't yield that many fruits. (Yes, I'm aware a chilli seed pack snuck into the picture)
And after that I have various of other things I plan on growing.
The list is as follows:
15 Cherry tomato plants
10 Large tomato plants
20 Cucumbers
5 Aubergines (1 per variety)
5 ish Courgettes
10 ish pea plants
20-30 bean plants (as soon as I figure out if they are pole or bush beans)
Leeks (lots - both in raised beds and containers)
Green onions of some sort
Chard
Kale
Beets
Radish
Carrots
Garlic (that was planted a few months back before winter hit us)
Thyme, Basil, Rosemary, Mint, Parsley and Dill will be on the list.
Possible cabbage
The beans were sent to me by a friend in Kentucky, which I'm very grateful for. The varieties are Cherokee Trail of Tears Pole Bean, Colombian Lizard Bean, Good Mother Stallard Bean, Red Anasazi Bean, Zuni Gold Bean, Calypso, Mayflower. If anyone has grown these before I'd love to hear from you on how they grow, I find that google was a little limited on these, some seem quite uncommon.
The cucumbers and tomatoes are mostly seeds bought in Russia, I'm not sure if they've changed the name on a lot of them or if they are different varieties altogether. I guess I'll try to write them out as I update, it's just a little to much to list right now. It's entirely possible I'll add more plants to the list, but that will most likely happen a lot later.
