I need to give the horticultural oil a try. The whiteflies have been pesky this year.
I’ve had a small harvest of Rutgers tomatoes this season, but each one has been spectacular! I will definitely look for that variety next year.
I also need to harvest my lemon verbena leaves to make a lemon verbena liqueur. I did that for the first time last year, and it was soooo good. I used Grey Goose vodka as the base. I’m not much of a vodka drinker, but adding this liqueur to tea makes an excellent Arnold Palmer with a twist.
My teeny tiny shallots that I planted in June because I had forgotten about them are still pretty small. There are maybe two that are the size of small ones at the grocery. The others are still quite small, about the size of a cherry. So I’m leaving them where they are in the hopes that by November I can have something.
If they are still too small to harvest, should I leave them outside and try again next year? Or do I bring them in and over winter with grow lights? Looking for advice.
I got some crop from these Rutgers, Heirloom but in our soil the taste was not exceptional, but thank God they are good.
I grew Rutgers this year for the 1st time and really like the flavor and productivity.
