A beautiful Spring day in Boston.
We started some seeds from Johnny's today indoors for the vegetable garden:
Brandywine OG Tomatoes
Sun Gold Cherry Tomatoes
Supersweet 100 Tomatoes
Hybrid Paste, Plum, and Roma Tomatoes Grandero F1 OG
Hybrid Bell Peppers, X3R Red Knight F1
Hybrid Hot Peppers, Red Ember F1 OG
Hybrid Savoyed Spinach Sunangel F1
Basil Prospera Italian Large Leaf-Hybrid Downy Mildew Resistant (very important in the community garden)
Summer Crisp Lettuce Magenta MT0
Marjoram Zaatar OG
Greek Oreegano
Portuguese Kale
As far as the giant pumpkin, I am going to grow my own seeds for this first time this year from the DeMarco 266, which comes from the Young 1502 and the Connolly 1375, great shape and color, and proven in small spaces.
The community garden will open for the year on 4/19 which will be mandatory clean up day. Soil samples will be taken.
I will be using two small hoop houses this spring in the community garden and I am planning on three rounds of planting:
One early start indoors around the middle of April that will go into the bigger hoop house. This will be a bigger transplant that will be indoors for around a month.
A medium start indoors that will be indoors for around two weeks before going into the small hoop house.
Direct seeding in the other two corners of my plot.
I am still working on the above dates. While I will have hoop houses and black plastic, I will not have heating cables so I still have to be careful with the cold.
