Ok, back when we decided to start a garden of veggies, didn’t really know what we wanted to grow. Kim had done them before back before we were together many years ago. I had never messed with them. It’s been a lot of fun so far & are still learning. Kim has gotten a bunch of seeds & grown them in trays inside the cabin & then we transport them to the beds outside. I mainly just bought them already growing from the stores. I would see something new & get excited & buy it. Think that is where we messed up. We have 37 different things growing in 17 raised beds. So, we are not gonna get a bunch of one thing.
Next season, I think we are gonna cut back to less things & more of each one so we can have a better harvest. A little ways into it, I found a cool app/site called “Seedtime”..it’s been really cool, but will be better next time as we learn when to plant things for our zone. This app tells you that & when to harvest & all that. Just put your crops in the calendar as you plant them & it keeps up with everything.
So, anyway when I got to the cabin after work yesterday, I went on & harvested a couple of things. We have like 17-18 tomatoes going, but these were the only ones with red. Also picked our first 3 purple bell peppers. Have never seen or heard of them before, but they are really cool looking. I found them at a Tractor Supply. I can’t wait to get more in depth with learning this app & grow better & more crops in the future…really enjoying this. Til next time peeps…
