Thanks for report. The only beans I planted this past season were
Cannellini that were started late in a small raised bed. I am
thinking about more dried beans next year. You are inspiring me to do
more. I tried lentils a couple of years ago and they got flooded out.

you're welcome. i forgot to mention
all the fun i have with the colors, shapes
and textures. OCD therapy sorting.


I have already decided to limit the varieties of tomatoes and peppers
next year. A very large majority of the tomatoes will be Viva Italia
since I can and make various sauces and other things with them. Better
Boy and Early Girl for slicers and Jelly Bean for salads. Bell and
maybe jalapenos for peppers.

most of what we grow will be for fresh eating
this year, but i'd like to put in a few sauce
tomato plants to add to the extras we put up.
for sweet peppers next year we'd like to grow
some of the red peppers for a change of pace.

have you grown the red kind of jalapenos?

Jalapenos are like bell peppers, leave them on the plant and they turn
red.
