Pepper- Tomato Pepper

If they can grow these in Beaver Dam Wisconsin I should be able to grow these in Colorado!

Ground cover - Chuffa
http://rareseeds.com/chuffa.html
Anyone ever try this? I like to have one wild experiment per season. This may be it
(Last year it was ground cherries and that went very well!)

I also have some seeds leftover from last year I will be planting...
Riesentraube tomato, Alpine Strawberries, Black Plumb tomato and Ground Cherry

And I have some saved seeds from Baker Creek stock....
Chinese red noodle beans, dragon tongue beans, Collective farm woman melon and Charentais melon (yum!!)

Hadn't heard of the chuffa, wife. What do you intend to use it for? It looks a lot a weed I am often fighting here... I will have to take note if there are tubers mixed in the roots. Maybe I am growing food and don't know it! Your list looks wonderful. Certainly helps the winter go by, thinking about what to plant in the spring! Counting the days...

I got mine yesterday and will be drooling over for the next 5 months.
Where is the collective farm women melons...I didn't find them.

Mine came yesterday also, have looked it over some but the house is very busy these days. after the hollidays I will be able to read it over with more detail. But I am picking it up and looking at it every chance i get now. It really is fun!

 

[journey11]

You exhibit a rare form of self-control, wife, to be able to stop at just 3 packets of seed!

I havent got my 2011 catalog from them yet!!! AUGH I think I'm going to essplode! My list from the 2010 catalog is quite lengthy...I dont know if DH will allow any more additions...oh what he dont know wont hurt him, right!?!

 

[wifezilla]

Hmmmm...Collective Farm Woman isn't in the print catalog. It is on line though...

Journey, it is actually 5 packets....2 different types of amaranth up there at the top. My restraint is artificially imposed. I only have .167th of an acre

Lesa, I just found out I have been throwing out food for years. I had no idea lambs quarters were not only edible, but more nutritious than spinach. Doh!

I just checked out the collect farm woman melon...why is it $12 for an oz of seeds?!?!?!?

 

[wifezilla]

I have no clue! Last year a small pack was $3.

 

[chicken stalker]

I emailed them...I'm hoping it is just a typo.
