Ping me offline with a mailing address, my reply-to is good . I'll send you some bok choy seeds . Would you like some Zucchini , okra , pumpkin , acorn squash , or Kentucky Wonder pole beans too ? I'm a compulsive seed saver . may have other stuff you'd like , just ask ! thanks Terry, if i have a problem sourcing them locally i'll let you know. ATM i don't need any other seeds besides the bok choy. like you, i'm a seed saver too if i get a chance. i have a lot of old seeds for wildflowers i need to put around to use them up and perhaps some will still be viable... no more climbers for bean seeds, i don't have the fence space for them... too many bean varieties already. funny, but Ma said that she liked a batch of beans i made a few weeks ago that included the dry edamame soybeans (which to me are fairly flavorless like any other soybean). i made a small pot of lima beans this morning. I have my tomatoes all in the ground now , and have pumpkins , acorn squash and green beans coming up . Strawberries are going nuts , garlic and last years green onions doing well . what type of green onions do you have going? These are a bunching onion bought at the local farm supply co-op by the pound . Very good onions for salads and cooking . The ones I'm harvesting now were planted last year . ah, thanks, don't see those around here, but perhaps i just don't look in the right places yet. hope your strawberries do well, they are such a treat. my sister called the other day because she was so happy to have found a jar in the back of her freezer from last summer. I put these berries in last spring and pinched the blossoms . My 14 original plants are now about 10x that , and they're loaded with blossoms and developing fruit . yeah, they do that. i love 'em and could eat them every day if they'd stay in season all year. i'm going to continue expanding their patches here as the older patches now need to be renovated or recycled into some other planting. if anything when they get too thick the ones i don't transplant work ok as organic material to be buried. the worms aren't too fussy... The spinach , lettuce , and bok choy are growing , but something is nibbling on the bok choy . Grasshoppers , I think - can't decide whether BT or DE is the proper choice for control . I'm still looking for signs of growth from the cucumbers ... I have some peppers in the hotbox , plan to wait a couple more weeks for warmer weather to put them in the garden . i keep counting the days... indoor chores will keep me as busy as i want to be until then. My main indoor chore is doing all the cooking here since she works . I have plenty to keep me busy outdoors though , no matter what season . the weather is nice enough this afternoon i'll get outside for a while. the catbirds are back at last - they are good company for gardening, always make me smile and laugh at their calls. songbird |
