Companion plant your basil and tomatoe.

This year's weather has all my times off. We're coming up on the end of March, and I've still got several feet of snow on the ground. It looks like I'm not going to be putting things into the ground until late this year.

I am just about to place an order for some dwarf citrus trees and some cherry bushes, though, so that'll hopefully give me something to do while waiting to really get the planting going.

Go on???......as you can see I am new at this. I was just going to use a few sauteed in my other veggies at night.

I've got tons of cherry tomatoes too and a few have been at what I would consider the right size for almost two weeks but are not turning red. Still greenish/yellow. Should I be concerned?

For bulk pepper flavor it's my favorite pepper. Garlic,onion, tomatoe water, banana pepper is an excellent launch salsa.
I think we did 15-20 last year.
Char them over coals, scrape the skin, split and fill with cheese and bacon.

Anyway the capsiam cultivars list is endless with endless flavor possibilities

Just three types (72 total) bulbs of garlic. Planted in October.

Fresh garlic is the only way to fly.

And those scapes!!!

When it gets warmer they will turn. Don't over water or you will split them and dilute the sugars.

First year I planted 25 pounds of seed garlic. We planted a fair amount of garlic chives in a full shade raised bed last year and the did well. I'm expecting good things this spring

Is planting Apple trees considered gardening?

Holy shit. I didn't know that's why they split.

Is growing weed considered gardening?

Absolutely.

Hot weather and big rains when they blush will ruin a crop.

Pretty much a rule of thumb for most bush/vine type fruits and vegetables.
