I’m starting tomatoes this evening. Will provide a list of varieties, and what I use each for, in tomorrow’s post.
Peppers are still lagging behind, but they always do. ;)
I have romaine, shallots, and peppers started in a flat indoors. I also am doing lavender, rosemary, dill, butterfly weed, soapwort, and columbine.
I’m going to be at my son’s the early part of next week, however, when I get back, I’ll be starting my tomatoes as well, and then getting the potatoes in.
I got them out of the garage today and when I saw how many I still have, told mr. mm that he was going to be eating more potatoes.
My potatoes are Red Pontiacs, and Kennebecks and both are keeping very well. I got out what I wanted to use as seed potatoes.
Last year when I did the bucket potatoes, I covered them with wood chips and those potatoes had no problem with slugs. The slugs got the ones in the ground. I’m guessing slug so not like crawling through or over wood chips.
I saved some of the partially eaten by slugs ones and figured that if they didn’t make it, I’d be no further behind than if I had tossed them. I’m thrilled to find out they are sprouting, so those, which I can’t use for eating, will be my seed potatoes for this year. There’s enough potato left for that, even if not enough to make it worth peeling for eating.
