Yesterday I found myself saying, “I love this time of year when the #tomatoes still have leaves.”

This year I planted a milpa-inspired bed with #squash #beans and #sorghum in place of #corn / #maize.
Everything grew great! The weird thing, however, was that the beans did not flower. At all. Until after the fall equinox when it was too late for them to mature pods. I planted Frijol Negro Santanero from Rancho Gordo that were grown in #Oaxaca. Turns out, much to my surprise, common beans can be day-length sensitive! I live too far north for this tropical variety.
First #tomato of the year to start ripening. It’s Anna Russian. #gardening #organicGardening #tomatoes #seedToTable
Just got my first hit on Seed Savers Exchange after listing for a year and a half. Long story short, he was double checking I only wanted SASE and a bit surprised when I said the equivalent of “Heck yeah and I’ll send one of everything!” Share seeds! He doesn’t know I’m scrounging to slip in some unlisted stuff. #SeedSaving #gardening #SeedToTable #GrowYourOwn
43 #tomatoes in. Bring the rain. Didn’t have the energy to tackle the #peppers. Maybe Wednesday between rainy days. The #fennel is the best looking I’ve ever grown. #BokChoy is bolting. 2/3 of the #broccoli starts have croaked. But, speaking of croaking, I encountered two adorable wee #toads that made me glad I was there. Bless their warty little souls! Sorry no pix because gloves and chicken poo fertilizer and just hot and tired. #gardening #OrganicGardening #GrowYourOwn #SeedToTable

Here we go! It’s below freezing outside but the #garden has started indoors. Whenever I look at my seedlings I’m amazed at how such wee things end up making such a jungle of #vegetables in the months to come. #gardening #SeedToTable #GrowYourOwn
Wrapping up Valentine/Anniversary/Bonobo week with some heart-shaped #squash ravioli. Now I just need to remember how to make sage brown butter sauce. #cooking #food #SeedToTable
@thebiologistisn Three accidental bean hybrids from our #garden. The black with white speckles and pintos with black markings are from several years ago that I've been selecting over time to hopefully stabilize. The black with white ends or white with black ends ? ones just appeared last year and I hope to stabilize them, too. I have no illusions that these are unique given how many bean cultivars there are, but this has been an interesting undertaking. #gardening #beans #SeedToTable
I should also add that I saved some to plant in the garden this year. I’m assuming they are climbers. #gardening #seedsaving #seedtotable
Grew a bunch of hinkelhatz chili peppers last year and not having any other plans for them I popped them in the dehydrator. Today I used some to whip up a batch of chili oil. Gonna make a good sauce soon! #gardening #SeedToTable #GrowYourOwn #CommunityGarden #chilis #peppers #cooking
Just took the last harvest from the #garden for the season, a short row of carrots. Coincidentally I also received my first seed order for 2024. The wheel just keeps turning.
My #Chile #Serrano plants are different this year. I got seeds in a swap and the plants are lightly downy. They're really pretty and I don't recall previous ones looking like this. The fruits look the same as in the past but I haven't tasted any yet. #gardening #SeedToTable #GrowYourOwn #Mexican #Cuisine
Picked the first #peppers of the season in the #CommunityGarden plot! Two Poblanos and two Numex Big Jim which I think is a Hatch type. #Gardening #SeedToTable
120+ #peppers and #tomatoes back from their babysitter and starting their hardening off process #gardening #ConmunityGarden #SeedToTable #GrowYourOwn
Potted up two flats of peppers yesterday. There are way more than I’ll actually grow. Most will be given away. I’m running out of room! A friend has a hoop house I can move them to when I need to make room for the tomatoes if the weather is right.

Can you guess which of these pots of pepper seedlings is Black Hungarian? I bet you can. #Gardening #Peppers #Chilis #SeedToTable
Here we go for reals. Started 17 pepper varieties today. It's only been a couple of hours but should I go in and see if they've sprouted yet? #gardening #seeds #peppers #SeedToTable
