After over a month, my Granny Cantwell and Carbon tomatoes have finally germinated along with a Lemon Drop pepper. No sign of the basil yet. Meanwhile, the marijuana plants germinated in a week.
We are going to try cucumbers this year. I’m also going to try container gardening with beets and climbing squash. The containers will be walled in by the marijuana plants which the deer avoid due to the smell. Maybe we’ll get to keep the container plants.
I planted pickling cucumbers...not as bitter...don’t need to be peeled and grow like crazy. I got a type that are 90% female....babies, babies everywhere. Picked 10 a day for days and days. Gave a lot away.
My family is very fond of “Dragon Egg” cucumbers. They stay sweet at any size, and the white skins make them easy to spot against the green vines.
