The only suggestion I would make is adding San Marzano tomatoes as well. They are the meatiest, most flavorful tomato variety out there.
Jenn used to can, but she got tired of it... unless we take it back up, all shall be eaten fresh.
But just Wait, the Rabbits are Gathering!
That Far North, and you could get some use out of even a simple Arch and Plastic 'greenhouse' to get 'em up and running sooner.
Down here, the hay has been Cut once, and the Corn is Wast-High and running an Inch or two a Day!
We are considering a cold-frame, among other things.
Vegetable guys will do well.
One place near here put in 50 Acres of Strawberries under strips of plastic that they plowed dirt along the edges, and they were selling Strawberries by May 10th! (These were Planted in late FEBRUARY!) And No, I doubt that he'll be paying the algore a commission for the 'global warming'
Now, I would run a Garden if I
had a Place for one, because I would maybe, just, have enough Time for it, and then put to use the cases of Canning Jars I took from my Grandfather's House...
But instead, I spray Weed Poison
in the Gravel under the Trucks and
House Van, so I don't have to Mow them.
As for Cold Frames, do you get
Ice Storms late in Winter? That would Mess you Up pretty quick if
that happened. I've seen several
places around here, that had very Large plastic-covered 'Greenhouses'
get Wiped out of Business by Hail
or Windstorms (not even Tornadoes)
and all of the Places that have the
Steel-Framed ones use heavy Acrylic
Panels instead of Glass, to protect against the Hail.
Good Luck with the Garden!
(and remember, those cute Bunnies
are the ENEMY!)
Thanks! We got some good rain the past three days, so things are looking up!
few Years, they seem to be more South
of us, Carolina/Georgia area, but then
we haven't had very Wet Winters for
about 3 Years now.
Well, it's almost 4PM, and getting Dark and Quiet... time to close things up before the next Thunderstorm hits.
