New Seeds Planted
Submitted by Pete on Thu, 08/07/2008 - 01:09.I planted some new seeds today. I replanted my snow peas, bok choi, and baby cabbages. It's about time... I've been planning to do that for the last 2 weeks. Anyways, I gave everything a really good watering as well.
My peppers are doing totally kick-ass this year. I have nearly a dozen ripe sweet peppers, my Tangerine Dream peppers are doing great (I've picked 6 so far this year and there are plenty more to come. Last year I only got about 2 (last year was my first year growing them)!). The 'Autopick' peppers are doing amazingly well. I picked a half dozen more jalapeños today, and the chili peppers are getting huge. I'll be taking some more photos tomorrow morning to post. Hopefully. :)
I've been thinking that I need to order some hardy cabbage, spinach, and onions to overwinter. I've never really tried growing through the winter, so I wonder how well it would actually do. I mean it's not like we usually get horrible winters here in Philly. In fact, last winter was rather tame. Very tame. So I'm thinking they may do well.
Oh, and tomatoes. I have two giant bowls filled with them. I'm going to make salsa soon. My parter is going to be making some more tomato pies (really 'pies' - not pizza like at all, but really pie shells filled with tomato, garlic, and Fontina cheese - and they totally rock). And forget about how many Black Cherry tomatoes I have.
