Toscano Kale - I was really pleased with the growth, size and flavor of the Kale. Next year I just need to put row cover over them so that I can enjoy them before the cabbage moth caterpillars do too.
Bouquet Dill - This was my first experience growing dill. It took longer than I anticipated for it to germinate and get growing but once it did they were quite large, hardy and the flavor was wonderful.
Barbecue Rosemary - I won't start picking my rosemary until it has a good amount of growth going on, so I felt like I was waiting forever before I could start picking and still be left with a healthy plant. But by the end of the season my rosemary was huge. The flavor was wonderful but I felt the leaves were more tender to the cold than other varieties I have grown.
Red Beauty Red Pepper - I gave the pepper the sunniest, warmest spot in the entire garden. I ended up with one green pepper by the end of the season. I don't think I get enough sun to grow really great peppers. I was thinking I might have better success next year trying them in a pot or I might give up all together on peppers.
Classic Eggplant - This plant was the workhorse of the garden this year. We were supplied with an abundance of deep purple, glossy fruit. I was absolutely thrilled with the harvest and quality of this plant.
Peppers always seem difficult for us when we try to start them from seed.
ReplyDeleteI was going to try broccoli and cauliflower from seed this year, but I am thinking it might be like the peppers with the difficulty.
I'm impressed you start peppers from seed. Mine was started from a start bought at the garden center and it still did crappy.
