Well, with that GLOWING recommendation, I had to go look:
https://www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/peppers/sweet-peppers/mellow-star-f1-shishito-pepper-seed-2592.html
I’m going to see if I need anything else yet, maybe some fall lettuces, and I’ll order some and give them a try. I have enough growing season left, even if I start them from seed, but these might be a candidate to see how long I can keep them going in the greenhouse into the fall/early winter. ;)
This season I am growing red pepper varieties (but they can be used at green if I need them): Barron, Alliance, Margaret’s, Carmen, Big Red (Jung’s Freebie this season) Habanada (looks hot, but it’s not) and a few Ancho/Poblano peppers and a Jalapeno of course.
And, THEN, because we're obviously NUTS, we added this 100 x 20' garden bed to our never-ending chore list. This has been a food plot for animals and we tried a wildflower garden without much success. I have 4 rows of potatoes planted, four rows of sweet corn, about 20 hills of winter squash, watermelon, musk & honeydew melon, spaghetti squash and pumpkins. The rest will be filled in with big Zinnia, I already have a row of 75 gladiolus in there across the back and I will also add monster-sized Sunflowers for the birds and smaller cutting ones for me. 🙂 I grew the flat of bright and cheerful Bonanza Bolero Marigold to tuck into my garden beds, and my salad garden is still going strong, even with this heat wave. Also, I'm tired, LOL! But now it's pretty much weed, water and wait. 🙂
Here's the Long View of the Kitchen Garden, facing East and exposing the ONE side of my house that still needs painting - but Mick will be here next weekend to work on it some more.
There are two more 8x4' raised beds that Beau added for me this season, to the south, next to the greenhouse. They are currently growing tomatoes and flowers and herbs, but this fall will be planted with garlic and all manner of spring blooming bulbs for cutting. Mom & I have BIG plans for bulb planting this season at her house and mine. :)
