View original postthis post was inspired by the latest political cluster

thread. or rather, inspired by a side-thread which i thought deserved its own place rather than be buried down in the bowels of that one

so.... what are you growing, or plan to grow, this year?

View original postso far i have about 25 tomatoes of various varieties:

View original post* roma

View original post* san marzano

View original post* oregon

View original post* yellow pear

View original post* moneymaker

View original post* "heirloom" (these were seeds i saved from a tomato i bought at whole paycheck... er, foods)

View original postno cherry tomatoes yet for some reason, but i have way more of the heirlooms than i have room for, so as of yet this is no big deal.

View original postalso already in the ground:

View original post* easter egg radishes

View original post* green onions

View original post* beets

View original post* orange and regular chard

View original post* spinach

View original post* various lettuces

View original post* purple cabbage

View original post* brussels sprouts

View original post* various carrots

View original posti also have seedlings for:

View original post* leeks

View original post* jalapeno

View original post* cayenne

View original post* thai chili

View original post* habanero

View original postand this is in addition to the blueberry and raspberry, purple collards, and yellow/red/white onions and garlic which survived being in the ground all winter only to pop up last month when the sun finally came out.

I believe all news and research that supports my opinion, and dismiss the rest as conspiracy and lies.

Seems such a weird thing to have a CAPTCHA code on

Isaac - 09/04/2013 04:32:14 PM 794 Views

and a case-sensitive one at that....

moondog - 09/04/2013 06:07:14 PM 782 Views

Yeah, I noticed that but didn't want to admit it took me seven or eight tries to first

*NM* Isaac - 09/04/2013 06:18:53 PM 446 Views

Only took me three.

*NM* Avendesora - 09/04/2013 07:05:24 PM 435 Views

Well, aren't we special?

Isaac - 09/04/2013 09:33:20 PM 818 Views
