my original plan was to keep only the dwarf plants, but I'm excited about the extra large potato leaf plant, and if I can find room, will grow all 12 out ........ the F2 generation is where you will find the greatest variation, so worth checking out as many as possible ...... taste being my primary goal - hopefully in a dwarf format
Shogun - a really nice early tulip!!
Santee broccoli shoots ready to eat .....
Really happy with my tomatoes so far ....... although I may have started them a few weeks too early with the strange weather we've been having of late
this seemed like the perfect transplant mix - 3 scoops Dutch Treat starter mix, 3 scoops Pro-mix organic vegetable mix and 1 scoop vermiculite
Perfect day for a neighbourhood wander ....
the colours and shadows caught my eye
not much happening yet at "R" Garden - but the succulents are looking wonderful in the old strawberry pot ... and almost time to harvest some rhubarb
sowed a few more Santee broccoli
Seemed like the time was right to direct sow more seed - this time in Bed 64
Alderman peas now transplanted, just a few due to trellis limitations ..... to the right and left of the peas I scattered Cosmidium seeds ....... these seeds are very hard to find - I grew them once about 10 years ago ..... finally found seed at "Wild Garden Seed"
also sowed assorted lettuce: Morton's Secret Mix 2022, Deer Tongue and Breen ..... in three rows, sprinkled with Gaia 4-4-4 fertilizer
here is my F2 Lilly Family tomatoes ...... very large leafed PL seeding at bottom right .... but not a dwarf
Sugar Ann snap peas just sprouting, while the Alderman peas are ready for transplant outside
spring colour starting with the bulbs, but wondering what has happened to all my daffodils ...... and the violas are really putting on a show
Only Bed 10 today, but it is full ...... now we wait
Lillian's Yellow Heirloom x Dwarf Speckled Heart F2 (Lily Family) note the potato leaf and regular leaf segregation ...
