We've got our tomatoes in, but I only know the kinds. There's beef, roma, cherry and something called celebrity. I don't think we've ever had them before. Then we have peppers: red, yellow and orange bell peppers, along with jalapeño, serrano and I think one other (it was kind of a blur at the nursery we went to).
I think she plans to get some zucchini, squash, maybe a watermelon. The strawberries are growing and blooming. Hopefully I'll have my own garden post out tomorrow. Not nearly as indepth, though. We're seasoned, but we're not very good at experimenting with new ways of doing things. :)
Well, you know what they say...
Grandpa gotta eat!!!
Sound like Grandpa might be making some homemade salsa in a few months?
I've grown Celebrity. They produced well and had good flavor. Almost sandwich size if I remember correctly...
Oh boy. The whole neighborhood will have zucchini! At least, I always end up with more than we can eat and I don't really like freezing them. Of course, I'm not feeding a family of 5 either... I have shredded and then froze them and they are usable...
I am having to improvise a lot this year. It's been pretty fun.
That's right, Grandpa Gotta Eat. And one of these days, I might get industrious and create a greenhouse so we can maybe start things a little earlier or try to have two growing seasons of certain things instead of one. It hasn't happened yet, but it's definitely in the back of mind somewhere. :)
Okay. Good. We'll expect some good things out of the celebrity tomatoes, then.
Yeah, we always end up with an over abundance, and then I can't ever find them fast enough before they become club size, so that just means there's more of it. We generally make zucchini bread, freeze some shredded, give a bunch away and every once in a while sautée them with butter.
