Tomatoes,Peppers,Squash and Pumpkins oh my!!!

Got a partial list of some of my maters, peppers,squash and pumpkins.Lots of good stuff for next year.Managed to lay my hands on a special selection of Atlantic Giant Pumpkin. So I will have an even better chance of a nice looking giants to show off.

Lots of work coming up and it all starts about the last week in January with the planting of some of my hot peppers. Some take a long while to germinate ( such as Bhut Jalokia) so that is the reason
for the early start.Might through in a few maters Just to see if I can get first mater status next year LOL. Anyway on to the list.

Tomatoes: Some out there may not know the names listed as some are ether very rare varieties or they are from another country or family heirlooms. Don't worry the USA will be well represented.


Brandywine: Cowlicks,Sudduth and Pink. While all three are pink they are three separate strains. One better than the other.I have grown Cowlicks and Pink. Will be interested to see how well Sudduth does.

First I would like to welcome all who are coming here to see what my garden plans are for 2010. I want to thank my fellow gardeners from several forums I am with for their kindness.Most of you have known me since early 2008 and have been of great support through some very troubling times for myself and my family. Several of you have sent some great seeds for my garden and are in the midst of doing so now. It is indeed a most humbling experience to find folks that are willing in this day and age to to help out a fellow gardener . Without many of you and you know who you are what garden I got planted this year would not have been possible.

2010 looks to be a brighter garden season filled with many favorites originated from several countries.I am very pleased that these heirlooms will be growing in my garden next year. I will keep everyone posted and make regular entries on my progress. In the last week of January seed planting begins with indoor planting of peppers.Some of my hot peppers take several weeks to germinate which is the reason for the early start. May even start a few tomato seeds too just cuz When it comes to my maters I can not be without them long and store maters have so little flavor. All of it would not be possible without all my garden friends.

God Bless,


Kevin
