Who's got one ? what are you growing ? and how's it coming along? Mine consists of sweet corn , cabbage , brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli ,cucumbers, zucchini, peas, tomatoes , peppers , acorn squash, pumpkins, and assorted spices. The cold wet weather hasn't been very conducive to good growth so far for me. But with warmer weather in the forecast things should turn out. I hope those of you growing fair better.

Pepper seedlings I planted last week are mostly up. Some I planted almost a month ago haven't emerged yet. Sometimes it takes several weeks, other times the seeds just don't germinate for whatever reason. Time to do my jalapeno seeds in the next few days. I've found they grow faster than the cayenne peppers, which I have my lowest germination rates on every year. I haven't started any tomatoes yet either but I will soon. I want to get those in the ground at a smaller size this year. And cherry tomatoes just grow too fast - those only need 4 weeks before planting outside to grow.
So we roasted and froze some onions this year to put on sandwiches. They are excellent. They do not look the best these ones pictured here are still frozen. All we did is put them in plastic soup containers let them thaw on a sandwich for the next day, and they are delicious. Garlic with a nice smoky flavor.
