I have a renewed appreciation for all the incredible work you do @Alasgun to be so self sufficient with your organic produce all year round. It really is amazing, and in a Northern climate to boot. I was reading this morning about something I have never in my life heard of...

I was shopping online last night and temporarily lost my mind, I think. I've really done my best to get away from flowers to reduce my bee load for the sake of the seeds, but there are times when I just cannot legit hold down the discipline. I'm hiding behind the fact that I sorta feel like...

From a cooking point of view, my experience has been that cherry tomatoes tend to be of little use. Probably too much water, seeds, skin and not enough actual flesh/meat. Adding heat seems to turn them into little puddles of nothingness, or worse, for me.

Love Nwambili! I grew it in 2021 (I think it was?) Such a pretty bean. I'm glad to know it can produce so well @Blue-Jay , I barely collected 100 seeds from 3 plants that year, they were planted in a bed with other pole beans and none of them in that spot did well. In hindsight, I believe...

It probably is. There is also the reality that by the time I find the order, its' already paid for. I did a bit of looking into the company, and it gets federal government subsidies as well, so there would not be much sense in trying to resist them. It sucks.

One of the things I never anticipated dealing with in selling seeds is having orders put in that make me queasy. Like when a GMO developer company orders legume seeds. A part of me wishes they would just do it incognito, and not put a company name to it, and then I'd never know any different...

I've found sweetness in tomatoes to be quite varietal, and have had a few that were too sweet.

I've always really liked the 'Nasieddu' beans on your website @Blue-Jay , they're all such nice looking beans. I've been a bit afraid of growing them though; Italian beans have given me a few close calls so far. Most of them have matured in good time, but a few were really cutting it close. I...

Me: You need to stop sowing more seeds than you have room for. Also me: Sounds like a 2027 problem. All the tomatoes are sown, and 90% are already up! I tested a few older batches of seed lots, back to the first couple years I saved tomato seed. I think that was 2016 (maybe a few in 2015)...

I think 'Sari Taneli Sera' has a nice ring to it! 🔔

It definitely darkened. Yes, I found that on Guy Dirix's website last night.

I will have a look at my jar of beans tonight, and see what they look like. I'll post a photo, I grew my seeds in 2023.

@Blue-Jay do you think the 'Turkey' bean you have (which I think was called Turkey #1 before if I remember correctly) might be this bean? https://belleepoquemeise.be/le-roi-du-potager/sari-taneli-sera/

Oooooh the 'Anniversay' sweet pea!!! I hope you post pictures this summer of all these flowers!

I love the ceramic pots too ducks, so elegant and pretty. 🪴

I know!!!

I'm so relieved to have almost all the tomatoes planted, and the 'Schoenbrunn' ground cherries too. I'm actually thrilled to see the cherries up already in a matter of days! Not common for the physalis family! Could not for the life of me find my pump action spray watering can, so I had to...

'Margot' is so pretty! :love
