Coming to the end of the winter season, which was pretty much a bust. I started seeds early, then waited, and waited, and waited for the temps to cool. There wasn’t a single two week period we didn’t see 80 degrees this “winter”. I got one head of broccoli, and almost got a head of cauliflower only to find it chewed down to nothing when I went to harvest. Now I fear I’ve waited too long to plant my spring crops.
On the bright side, my Roma and Martian tomatoes made it through the winter and are starting to produce. So did a couple green peppers, and a poblano pepper plant is loaded with peppers.
Finally got a hold of some turmeric root, which is taking forever to start. I’m keeping my hopes up, as the ginger root did the same thing but finally took off.
This year, I’m going to learn to prune my tomatoes and peppers back to maximize production over growth. Really, I am. Uh huh.
You may have to grow your cool crops indoors, and concentrate on summer veggies for outdoors.
