2024 Garden

I cut back some this season because of concerns about suficient irrigation water. I also dealt with some medical issues.. The weather was difficult as well. It started out cold and wet and then turned suddenly hot. Plants had not developed sufficient roots at the time they switched from the vegetative stage to the.fruiting stage. However, I grew and collected seed from a number of new varieties, including about two dozen peppers and tomatoes along with some corns I had grown last as a kid. I was also able to replenish the seed for a number of beans and corn and over a hundred tomato varieties. So I hope these do well for you as they did here under some tough conditions.
