Grow

Plants I’m TRYING to grow [transplanting is overdue on first three]:

  • cilantro – leaves turning purple; is it bolting? hmm…
  • chives – new growth finally starting
  • rosemary – thriving :D
  • sweet potato – hasn’t sprouted yet, but it looks like something’s happening
Plants I’m thinking about growing:

  • beets
  • lettuce
  • potatoes
  • carrots
  • beans
  • tomatoes
  • onions
  • garlic
  • arugula
  • dandelion greens
  • sunflowers
  • collard greens
  • chard
  • kale
  • spinach
  • winter squash
  • melons
  • blueberries
  • strawberries

    Things I’d suggest trying in addition:

    radishes (very quick to grow – great greens, too, when they’re fairly young)
    scallions (more instant gratification than onions if you’re first starting out)
    cherry tomatoes (I know you said you don’t like tomatoes, but have you had fresh grown?!!)
    zebra stripe tomato (not your typical tomato)
    basil (to go with the toms)
    peas (they’re pretty and tasty – plant in late fall and early spring)

    Good luck!!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog, btw! I’m proud to be a part of 90% Reduction.

About this blog

I'm not really famous. In case you were wondering. But I tried. I once believed that fame makes you real - a perversion of "The Velveteen Rabbit" theme that love makes you real. Guess I equated fame with love. Sad. You can read more about that here.
