Rhubarb, with its tart stalks and enduring appeal, thrives when surrounded by compatible companions. Planting rhubarb near onions, chives, and beans can create a harmonious garden ecosystem. Onions and chives deter pests and enhance overall garden health, while beans fix nitrogen in the soil. This combination not only safeguards your rhubarb crop but also enriches your garden with robust and nutritious produce, making it a win-win for both the garden and your culinary endeavors.More
I planted these seeds the first week of June in zone 6b. I think nearly every single one took. I pinched them back, and then they took off. It’s a great variety of single or multi-layers, some even pop up more red. They’ve been so fun to cut for vases, highly recommend.
We planted one packet on bush beans and ever seed germinated. By far our most prolific bean summer yet. Small, tender beans that are even delicious to munch in the garden. Will be a stable in our Wisconsin garden from here on out.
This vining melon is prolific in a raised bed in western Wisconsin. Trellises or on the ground, you’ll get many fruits from in plant. Definitely a keeper in our garden.
I am absolutely in love with these tomatoes. The description was SPOT ON. When I first started growing these tomatoes I kinda doubted the claims that these tomatoes were extremely prolific and love to sprawl so I decided to plant 3 together. This was both a blessing and a curse because I now have a lot of tomatoes but my garden box has also went missing due to the size of these plants, haha! They’re so sweet and the perfect size for everything in my opinion. I hate when diced tomatoes are added to things and it makes everything soggy or too runny. These tomatoes solve that problem by being the size of a diced tomato while still being fully enclosed in a skin. I’ve used them to cook so many different things and I they haven’t disappointed me yet. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
I have 2 - 2’ x 6’ raised beds which are waist high, as bend-over gardening has become challenging. These seemed like a good choice, and I’ve not been disappointed! Bonus- their short germination time means I am looking at a second harvest in a couple of weeks! These little guys are good BOTH as snap peas early on in salads and stir-fry, as well as fresh shelled peas a little later on.
Best Pickled Peppers Ever, Use a simple recipe. This mighty plant is a producer indeed. The only mistake I made was planting 7 of them. I seriously can not keep up. Trimmed them back and they came back 10 fold. Great Flavor, does not disappoint. They will be forever in my garden.
A delicious little melon. Honeydew meets Cantaloupe Zone 7B here
I was hoping, crossing my fingers and Viola We will forever grow this perfect melon! If your a Honeydew/ Cantaloupe person and don’t want to cut the whole giant melon, this is for you. The taste is mellow, refreshing and just nice pop of flavor. I direct sown the seeds, germination rate was pretty good, then they start to take off. The flowers are similar in size to cucumbers, but then you get this amazing little fruit. Be ready because they will take over an area, we grow them up on a cattle panel.
Just received my endamae seeds and wa hoping the qr code would lead to some pointers for successful germination. Doing a Google search I see some people are soaking their seeds for a few hours prior to planting. I have my seeds soaking now. Any insight would be helpful! I'll post my updated rating after germination. Definitely later than usual but hopefully will also be able to plant continuously until it's too cold.
