Just ordered my batch of organic seeds from Salt Spring Seeds. Peat pots will get rolling asap, yo!
As I mentioned in previous posts, I'll have a nice, big sunny patch this year and I'm SO PUMPED.
Here's what's coming in the mail wooooooooooooo:
Black Prince heirloom tomatoes. I grew these last year and they beat all the other varieties as far as production and flavour. So delicious. The girls ate them like apples. And they're called Black Princes which makes them dangerous and sexy.
Taxi heirloom tomatoes. Haven't tried them yet, but they are cute and yellow so... hey? Yeah? Early determinate variety lemon-sized and sweet in salads boooooooooyeaaaaaaaaaah.
"Tiger Tom" heirloom tomatoes. I wanted a novelty type for fun. Plus I can call their juice tiger blood and then I can call myself Charlie Sheen. Who's sick of Ch'sheen jokes can I get a hollaaaaaahhhhh?
"Gardener's Delight". Little plum variety. And they damn well better delight me.
Etkezesi sweet peppers. I couldn't find a pic of them though. They're a high yielding Hungarian heirloom. Yellow to orange, thick-walled, sweet. Awesommmeee!
Ancho hot pepper. Thought it'd be nice to add some heat to the harvest this year. Whoa I should be an extreme garden announcer! "THIS YEAR ADD SOME HEAT TO THE HARVEST WITH EXTREME ANCHOS. THEY WILL EXPLODE YOUR SUPPER FOODS WITH THEIR INCREDISPICE".
Styrian Pumpkin. You can eat the entire seed from these dudes! THE ENTIRE SEED. Like, uncooked. What sort of magic is this, pumpkin king? The rest of the pumpkin can be eaten like zucchini and used in soups or stir fries so yeah.
Noir Des Carmes melon. Yes I'm tying melons AGAIN. Hopefully my sweet south-facing garden wall will be a good enough home for them and I'll actually get one GD melon. They're touted as "one of the easiest to grow and most luxurious of melons". SWAG MELONS.
Lutz Beets. Not super interesting pics of them so whatevs, but they're good beets and I really like their name. LUTZ. It's so internet fresh!!
Aaaaaannnd Scarlet Nantes Carrots. High carrot fivers! Boomshackalacka or something.
Of course, I'll be planting plenty more than this, such as lettuce, corn, cucumbers, herbs, eggplants, peas, and whatever else I have room for. Seriously so excited. So so super excited. I cannot wait for the drama, the love, and the trashtalkin. There should for real be a gardening reality tv show. SO exciting all the time!
PEAT POTS!!! THE ORGANIC HERETIC MUST DIE
ReplyDeleteEvery green soul know that peat moss is "unsustainable" as it takes more than 200 years to regrow. Coconut coir is the only thing that any Earth Mother loving soul would use. ;) ;)
HA! okay well my approach to organic gardening is more like: I want to keep my seeds and I want my soil to be in good shape. I mean, yeah I love the Earth, but like... I haven't driven in 10 years, I compost, recycle, I buy local ingredients for my cake biz, and I buy tons of second-hand... can somebody else please not use peat moss? kay thnx ;)
