Nourish
Garden successes so far:
Sweet success cucumber gave me my first cuke today and is loaded
Sweet cherriette was the first ripe tomato, bloody butcher were the first consistently ripe tomatoes, though those were seedling flowers. I'm guessing exserted orange will be the next and the green grocery store cherry is setting lots of fruit.
Amyrilla tomatillo seems to get sunscald more easily than the other types
Sorrento broccoli rabe was an amazing early producer, though it's bolted by now.
Olympia spinach held better than longstanding bloomsdale
This year is bucketing oregano and parsley
Rhubarb was very sweet, mild, and abundant this year
Prelude wheat was first to head.
Gaspe corn was first to silks
Taiga tomato is holding its tomatoes really well through stress and seems like it'll be the first to size up
Wheat and barley are excellent at drought resistance compared to corn
Georgia candy roaster squash is most voluminous right now, while the Lofthouse squashes were first to start running
Starburst magic manna corn is the biggest
Lavender parching corn tillers the most
Russian black fava was first to flower and to set pods
Famosa cabbage looks like the first to head
Groninger blue kale/cabbage is robust and resistant to what ails anything
Copenhagen market cabbage started off slow but has really caught up
Matchbox pepper is, as always, the first to fruit and the most reliable
Paprika from around here is the second most reliable pepper and it looks like doe hill, ace, and black hungarian are thinking about third place
I should always plant more edible chrysanthemum than I think I need
Saxa bean is bulletproof through early germination
Green salad bowl lettuce avoided bolting on my deck through 40C temps (the deck got up to 45 where that pot is) and is still tasty
Borage actually did come back
The grapefruit mint s giant and is taking over
