What A Difference Two Weeks Makes
 |
| Anyone care to guess what these are? |
 |
| Here's the whole plant if it helps. |
 |
| These are supposed to be banana peppers, but I'm not so sure. |
 |
| Definitely banana peppers. |
 |
| The bell peppers are coming along beautifully. |
 |
| Amish Paste flowers |
 |
| Gotta love those Amish Paste seedlings from Little River Market Garden. |
 |
| Kale and mustard greens. |
 |
| Bibb lettuce companion planted with tomatoes. |
 |
| Bulb onions companion planted with tomatoes and Bibb lettuce. I wish I could find some more onions. These were the only ones that looked viable. |
 |
| A front yard garden overview just to see the growth. |
 |
| Sungold 'maters popping out everywhere. |
 |
| Even my swiss chard seedlings are surviving. Mickey's only trampled them once so far. |
I'm thinking it's going to be a banner harvest this year, barring Mother Nature pulling any funny ones.
I hope your garden is doing as well as ours.

Color me extremly jealous. Great pics. Gives me more incentive to get my greenhouse doen, cause that is the only way to have food like this in November where I live.
Wow, looks so amazing.
Are the scotch bonnet? The kale looks great. How's the celery coming along? I planted out some carrots and beets but the chickens made it past the netting so I have to replant them.
Yes, Sydney. You are 100% correct. They are scotch bonnet peppers. The healthiest plants I've ever seen - even compared to ones I've seen down in Cayman.

I am jealous too. Your garden is awesome! I love the way you handled the neighbor too.
I have a question for you though and I have not found an email for you so I will post it here.
What do you think of the survival seed websites? I was thinking of buying some but saw the word 'scam' when I googled them. What do you think?
Bob,
I don't know about those sites. Here's what I recommend. Contact The Dinner Garden (www.dinnergarden.org). You can obtain free seeds from them.
Where are you located, Bob?

Bob,
Also, I usually only buy from Johnny's Seeds and Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.
I try to get organic whenever possible.

Thank you SO much!!!
I am in Tampa FL
Bob,
I'm planning on driving over to the west coast some time in the next couple months. I'll shoot you a note as it gets closer. Maybe we can get together and say howdy.

Wowzers! Your yard really is edible-awesomeness. I have one question after looking through this post. I tried to start some bell pepper from seed recently. They sprouted and grew to about 2 inches tall and then stopped growing altogether. I used rich organic soil and good seeds. I was wondering when you started yours. Maybe I simply didn't start mine at the right time?! Oh, and do you know what variety or type of seed is best for this area?
Thanks!
Stella,
Take a peak at the top of my blog. There is a blue line just above the picture of the peas that has different pages that you can take a look at. One of the pages is a South Florida Planting Guide. It tells you what to do basically every single month and how much to plant of each veggie/fruit/herb, etc. Now, I will give it one caveat. It says it's for south Florida, and I would say it's more for Central Florida, but it's still a good guide if you add a month to everything, meaning, if it says plant tomato seedlings in September, I would probably try to do it in October or November when our weather is a tad bit cooler.
