This year's seeds started showing up, I haven't got room like I used to, but I really was disappointed with the junk we got from local greenhouses and grocery stores...none of the started plants were varieties I would have chosen.
This year, I'll be back at it with some proven winners
Tomatoes:
Silvery for tree (was added to my order for free)
New big dwarf
Bush beefsteak
Oxheart
Costoluto genovese
Black Krim
Black plum
Gold nugget (yellow cherry)
Sweet millions (cherry)
San marzano
Manitoba
Still need Estlers mortgage lifter (sold out already)
Canestrino di Lucca is incoming from USA
Hoping to get Brandy Boy also

Peppers
Sweetheart hybrid - best red bell pepper I've ever eaten
Hungarian hot wax
Jalapeno m hybrid

Also got some Japanese turnips

Will buy local junk seed for
Spinach
Raddichio
Leaf lettuce
Snow peas

What's everyone else's plans?


Just happy to be here.

Too many to list.
Latest experiment is brussel sprout seed that I harvested.
They are bi-annual (two years to seed)
Enough to load Les' greenhouse lol.

Thinking of getting one of those heated matts.
It's cool where I will start.

Best thing about garden work is,
no one bothers ya.

No one bothers you

Because they don't want to pull weeds

It's going to be a struggle for me to get these all in the ground, but I am committed to it. I may have to plant some at one of my trapping properties which is unfortunately 45 minutes away... but it is a working market garden so someone will be there to water, fertilize, etc.
I am hoping to have 4 raised beds at 4'w x 8'L x 2' deep and 20 to 30 5 gallon pots on top of landscape fabric


Just happy to be here.

I will plant the same two garden spots again this year. One is heavy soil about 2 miles from Lake MI so it is later, mine is in lighter soil and 8 miles from the lake so earlier. Both have pHs over 7 so acid plants don't do to well and I dig root crops a bit earlier than if I had more sand etc. I do have a mountain of compost to put in all the rows this year so I will dig deep troughs and cover with dirt, plant and put the black cloth down as well. Sure worked well last year and I only did about 1/3rd of the total area. Lots of tomatoes again. I buy seed from the same source for decades and I buy my plants locally and spray frequently and did very well last year. I have cut down two large trees to get more sun on the gardens and that helps lower moisture and humidity for the slugs, spores etc.

I'm not doing 3/4 acre of sweet corn and a 3/4 acre garden and an acre of pumpkins.
Doing 2 1/5 Acre pumpkins then just enough veggies to cann. Trying to keep up with that big of sweetcorn and garden took up to much fishing time and I made more on pumpkins then other produce

I just saw a bunch of seeds available at Menards the other day. Would those be new seeds or holdover from last year?

Been wanting to get my hands on these for a few years now...turns out that unlike Backbreaker, tomato seeds will fly through customs

For many seeds as long as they’re stored in a dry, cool place it doesn’t matter. One researcher has done studies with tomatoes in particular and has found that germination rates don’t drop off until the seeds are over 10 years old.

This year I want to grow brandy wine, sungold, and a couple cherry varieties that I haven’t decided on yet for tomatoes. Anyone have suggestions on good pickling jalapeño? I’m not a fan of real hot stuff but I love some pickled jalapeños
