What are you growing this year, Mott?

Envy mostly

No I wanted to see what LR’s plans are.

Ah, good thinking.... same here. He must have stuff sprouting everywhere, given where he stays.

Got 17 cabbage plants out, and a little more than a 40 ft row of onions. My little tomatoe plants are living outside most of the time now but I won’t set them out in the garden until mid-April. At that point I’ll plant some green beans, okra, squash (white, yellow and spaghetti) and cucumbers. Whippoorwill peas are on the slate for sometime as well.

Oh, more plans. I signed my retirement papers last week. I plan to work part time only next year. We’ll see how that works out for me.

Congratulations on both the new life in your garden beds, and in your own life as well!

What did you plant, Mott?

[WinterBorn]

I'll be planting tomatoes in another week or so. Several varieties. I hope the Cherokee Purples produce well again. Delicious fruits!

Are those heirlooms?

Are those heirlooms?

Yes. Or at least thats what I'm told by the people selling the seeds.

I'm thinking of growing a few things this year. Corn for one, maybe some rainbow carrots, and some purple potatoes.

You must live in a more southern area. We still have several inches of snow on the ground here, and another foot scheduled for later this week. I'll be starting our tomatoes and peppers indoors later this month. In May they can go out to the hoop house (assuming the snow has melted enough by then to get to it lol). Won't put them in the ground until early June.

Are you growing anything else?

Those rainbow carrots sure are pretty. Do they taste any different than regular carrots?

No, just tomatoes. Our backyard is too shady for anything but english ivy. I have a small raised bed out front, but don't want to go crazy.

Yes, I am in a southern area. I live in Atlanta.
