Hi everyone,
Been a while since I last posted so I thought I would let everyone know some of what will be going on for the 2010 garden. I have three additions to add. They are Mariana's Peace,Uncle Charlie’s Giant Italian Pear and Berkly Tye Dye ( what can I say being a native of Cali). Lord knows it will be lots of work getting all these great maters out but will be fun too. The tomato list has bloomed to nearly 50 varieties which do not include some special grow outs.
Gonna have some additions to the pepper list too! My niece is getting into the act and a forum friend is sending her several peppers to grow.When I find out all the ones she is getting I will let you know. But one is a special request by me and that one is Manzano. This is the oldest domesticated pepper and is reported to be very good.
Anyway here is my new almost finalized tomato list.
1 Thessaloniki:Grew this great Greek mater last year.About the size of Celebrity and IMO it has just as good production.And more flavor.
2 Big Rainbow: Last year was to be the first year for this one but as you know I landed in the hospital about the time you are supposed to have the garden all worked up.Oh well .Take two!!!
3 Vorlon: Been looking forward to trying this one

As you can see I will have a very busy time planting everything. Harvesting should be just as interesting. As you know there will be other garden goodies other than peppers and maters this year.I think everyone will enjoy seeing the results. And if the weather is kinder this year I will have lots of seeds to share as I will be saving seeds. Remember it is just about time to start seeds. Tropical peppers should be started by the end of January to give them time to germinate and grow so you can get a good harvest.
Happy Garden Planing,
Kevin
