Anyone who visits my driveway now will see that it has changed. I finished planting today, so the blocks of seedlings are now for the most part replaced with lines of containers. The small pot colorful ornamental (but edible) hot peppers signaled the end of my planting this spring...big relief (although just a bit of sadness - I really enjoy getting things planted). What now remains is equally enjoyable - maintaining, monitoring, reporting - and eventually, picking and eating.
But - on to the free stuff! Along with the well known varieties for the seedling sales, there is always a lot of interesting material left over; far more than I can fit into my garden. If anyone is interested in the following:
Eggplant in progress - candidate for a new variety Green Ghost (the back story...a few years ago I grew out a Casper that had a more purple stem - the resulting eggplant was teardrop shaped and black purple. I saved plenty of seed, and in growing it out, had an array of colors, shapes and sizes. A few were quite unique - pale green skin with varying amounts of lavender shading, which is a color combo that was new to me. So I saved seeds - and I've got various plants from three different selections).
Ornamental Hot Peppers in progress - I've been working with these for years - the plants are compact, bushy, perfect for containers - they have green, dark greenish purple or dark purple foliage and the peppers can be slender and short, round and small, of all sorts of colors. Lots of seedlings need homes - fill in spaces in your flower beds or in containers on your deck!
Dwarf tomatoes in development - I've got lots, but please wait until my blog on the Dwarf project plants I am growing for the possibilities. Many will have stripes of various colors!
if you are interested, email me to set up a time to come and get some!
