I am woefully behind on my blogging, but at least most of the plants are planted now.
Every other one of these Lolipop tomatoes is one I grew from seeds that I saved last year. Since the tomato that I saved the seeds from was open pollinated near other tomato varieties, I have no idea what those tomatoes will be like. But they're right next to 100% Lolipop tomatoes, which will serve as the controls!
The peppers in this bed are jalapenos I saved from seed last year (also open pollinated near other peppers, so they're mystery peppers!), orange bell peppers, Doe Hill Golden bell peppers, and Hungarian Wax peppers.
The trellis for the cucumbers will be coming along shortly ...
Next up are the potatoes and edamame. I'm hoping the potatoes will be harvested and out of the way before the edamame gets gigantic, but I don't know ...
And the other tomatoes and peppers. These are alternating Illini Gold and Hungarian Italian Paste tomatoes. Planted between the potatoes are jalapeno and cayenne peppers.
And there's one zucchini on each end that I saved from last year's seeds. Mystery zucchini, I guess. :P
And these are the spares!
So far I've lost a few peppers that I'll need to replace with the spares, but the rest of them are looking for new homes!
I have a bunch of herbs from the herb fair this year that are out in the front flower bed, but it needs a serious weeding before I'm going to take any pictures of it!
