IT WON'T BE LONG NOW...


Our first flowers are blooming, the trees are budding, and the birds...well let's just say they seem to always aim for the car windows! 

We've been really busy getting the seedlings started, and I glad to report that finally the first round is almost done.  This year we plan to do a "salsa garden"  area.  This will be made up of a variety of tomatoes, tomatillos, and hot peppers!

   Here is a partial list of what we have growing.


HOT PEPPERS:  Hot Manzano, Numex Big Jim, Orange Habanero,   Red Habanero, Hot Yellow Wax, Ancho/Poblano, Anaheim, Serrano, Cherry Hot, Jalapeno M, Jalapeno Hybrid, Jalapeno Stuffer, Jalapeno Early.  (Ghost Pepper not yet started)  GREEN SWEET BELL PEPPERS:  California Wonder, Big Dipper, Bobbis' Large Stuffer.   TOMATO:  Rutgers, Mortgage Lifter, Roma, San  Marzano, Large Red Cherry, Tiny Tim, Beefsteak, Independence, Wild Mini Cherry.
Heirloom Tomatillo: Large Green & Purple!!! 

In all, we'll probably have 18 different peppers, 10 or 11 varieties of tomatoes, and cole crops, salads, root veggies, beans, peas....100 strawberry plants, blueberry, huckleberry, and summer squash.

But, as usual, we will be growing tons of baking pumpkins and winter squash varieties that make the fall season so special here on the farm.  OH....don't forget....Straw Beary always grows lots of flowers!
