You got me beat, I found some from 2014I have seeds from 2010, apparently.... sheesh... definitely a hoarder...

Those were all great tips for carrots! Ignoring carrots really seems the best tactic, I got more last year than I ever have. I planted them close to the tomatoes and got a pretty good harvest when thinning them - that first harvest had huge tops that the rabbits loved - then the tomatoes grew over them and I lost track of them until I was trimming the tomatoes back. That harvest had tiny tops but really nice roots.Some things with carrots
1. Ignore them mostly. Lightly spread seed, and then thin when you can, fairly early, but then ignore them. They grow painfully slow it seems.
Really glad you're recovery is going so well. Gives DP and encouragement for her surgery.I continue to make small gains every day in my recovery .
I've found a couple kinds of bananas in stores and the really short plump ones are so good when they are perfectly ripe. Plus home grown bananas just sound like magic. Like home grown unicorns.Can't wait for my bananas to ripen. I really don't like Cavendish, mine are an apple banana type. If you live in a banana growing region there really are plenty of varieties to choose from to plant
i cried staring out the window at my snow covered (8+ inches) garden. YEP true story
Don't forget garlic, onions, and shallots. Carrots are great if you aren't in a hurry too.Any other recommendations on what to plant? I am very new to planting edible foods. Thanks!
Same here, this thread has been an excellent idea generator for gardening and cooking as well.Goodness, it's really easy to just ramble on and on here! It helps me get my thoughts organized, though.
I thought the same thing!I thought you were gonna tell you shoveled all that snow and the bottom pic was your after picture
Plant what you would enjoy or already like. Green beans (bush type) grow pretty easily, or beans for drying (like pinto or black beans). Soybeans for edamame are easy. Bush green beans can be grown in pots too. Don’t forget strawberries!! Can grow in pots ot towers, or even in gutters mounted on a fence. But strawberries produce best the second year, so don’t expect much the first year and pinch off all runners and flowers first year to help root development (well, ok, leave some flowers for a few strawberries that first year).Any other recommendations on what to plant?
