Ok I ’ve been ghost with harvesting the garden and get quick for our first cold cinch tonight . I call up I ’m ready for it . But now the weather the great unwashed say it will be 38 ° farad tonite which is still plenty cold for tomato plant but hopefully it wo n’t get down to freezing tonight in the garden and then the nighttime temperatures will go up into the 40 ’s . unquestionably cooling off but I ’m skip we will get another 3 - 4 week without freezing weather condition to extend the season . I ’m already FRIED with all the harvest I ’ve been doing but I always have the winter to reimburse . rest . reload - and dream of the next time of year .
So are you write any veg seeds yet ? Do you remember this retiring spring when COVID 19 first hit ? I do n’t know about you , but I remember a vegetable seed shortage not only locally at our glasshouse but also many national come companies ran out of seed too . Plus many vegetable starts were sold out right on aside in our local glasshouse . And I heard it might come about again next spring . So with this in mind , I ’m save some of my seeds of my favourite crops so I will have some vegetable seed for next year to develop .
I will save up tomato , winter squash , bread , noggin ( both green bean and ironic beans ) , summertime squash racquets , angelic Italian peppers and many unlike flower ejaculate . How do you save seeds ? There are many on-line source on how - to keep open seeds for you to investigate and I will have a mini - series on saving dissimilar seed begin with tomato seed by next workweek , once I take the whole operation .
Pink Glass Gem corn

pinkish Glass Gem corn
For instance , I come up 2 auricle of glass gem corn I get that were different spook of pink out of many rows of multiple coloration Methedrine precious stone corn 5 yr ago that I persist in to grow to stabilize it . Now there are no other colour other than unlike shades of pink . It is now an F5 ( fifth generation ) so it ’s credibly pretty stabilized . you’re able to say about ithere .
Santoro lettuce
Santoro lettuce
I also salvage a particular open - pollinated cabbage ejaculate that for the last distich of yr I could n’t find online anymore . It is holler Santoro , a wondrous butter lettuce that melts in your mouth and produce with child mind . My Santoro lettuce source supply still germinates at 100 % but I want to keep the supplying bracing since I ca n’t find it any longer . you’re able to say about ithere .
Moby nanus cherry tomato with anthocyanin on the shoulders
Moby dwarf cherry tomato with anthocyanin on the shoulders
I ’m currently doing a trial on a Craig Lehoullier dwarf xanthous cherry tomato plant call Moby , where I ’ve discovered 2 year ago some tomato that had a flimsy purple blush called anthocyaninon the shoulder and they are sweeter on the Brix scale than the regular jaundiced variety . This in the second yr of growing it out .
I exit to Italy 2 years ago and while there got some dry bonce from the market in Florence that are not useable here . This one is called Rossa de Lucca and comes from the Tuscany area . They are hard to find here in the State and so I did cook some up and salve some to get out and now I have a steady provision of them .
So you could bring through seeds to not be caught shorthanded for next yr ( like we were this year ) or for relieve young potential smorgasbord . Try it , it ’s fun !
