First Plants of the Year
So my pepper plants (and a few tomatoes) from Seed Savers arrived this week. Between rain showers today I managed to get one of the garden boxes tilled and the plants in. I planted a wide variety of peppers, including:
- Tolli's Sweet: A sweet pepper that produces longer fruits that are good for Italian cooking
- Wenk's Yellow: A medium hot variety that produces colorful fruit (apparently good for canning)
Also planted were two Mexico Midget (a prolific cherry tomato plant) and Stupice (early, smaller fruit) tomatoes. Next weekend we're going to go buy more tomatoes, basil, and some marigolds to fill out the remaining boxes.
