@Dave: Cipollinis BULB during the long days of summer. Before that they GROW. So I'm really not sure what you're asking. We live in Florida, we're growing them as bulb onions.

HI I see you ordered alot of Chipollini’s all the info Ive found says these are ‘Long Day’ onions ie. they will only bulb during the long days of summer north of Tennessee are you growing these as bunching onions or pearls? Please let me know as I ordered some Red Marbles too but dont want to waste the space if they arent going to produce. Best regards Dave

You’re going to love the Black Pearl Edamame. We grew those last season, and they were quite tasty. But, trust me, when you think you’ve planted enough, plant about twice as much again. I had 8 edamame plants and discovered after 2 harvests that I should have planted about 20 for the amount of edamame that we eat.

@coriander:

That’s some good reading there. I think you might like Baker Creek too. Their catalog is SHINY.

I can’t wait to start snowpeas in a month and a half. My Territorial Seed Catalog arrived last week and I’ve already read it cover to cover TWICE.

Hi – gosh your veg grow quickly. I am beginning to think about what veg to grow next year but am struggling to focus as it is trying to snow here at the moment.

Baker Creek Heirlooms (rareseed.com) has the most beautiful catalog! It’s only about a 3 hour drive from here, someday I’ll actually go there instead of ordering more seeds than I will have th energy to plant! LOL>
I do love, love, love, the heirloom plants. They are so much yummier, juicier, prettier than the perfect veggies in the grocery store

that’s an impressive list you have there. I’m so envious of your veggies. We are working on our 4th area to grow veggies, either too wet or not enough sun. I was trying to see where you are located, I’m guessing close to Monticello…I’m in Tally.

One of the things I love about garden blogs is seeing what grows in different climates. Your photos for instance…they look like springtime to me. Just lovely. You’ve got an impressive list of seeds! I’m going to try heirloom varieties from a Canadian organic seller this year and I’m very excited.

@Meems:

Yay, another rareseeds convert! LOVE everything we bought from them last year.

And yes, this weather has been spectacular. If I’d actually protected the cucumbers during that one 32 night we had a few weeks ago they’d still be going too.

Do try snow peas, they are absolutely delicious…and they laughed at that 32 night, sat there with frost on their leaves and LAUGHED, I tell you.
