some veggies - June 24th, 2005 at 08:50 AM
Two years ago I planted some store bought brussel sprout plants. They were soooooo good! I harvested the sprouts on a very warm January day - they had lived through a few freezes already. Last summer I did not plant any new brussel sprouts, and the original ones came back but just in flowers and a few seeds. This summer they are back with a vengence with flowers and a whole tons of seed heads. Can you make out all the long, thin seed heads on these plants? Won't be having any brussels this year, but should be getting tons of seeds to trade!
Just bought these banana pepper plants the other day - they already had all these peppers on them, and more flowers. Grew them last year - they are not spicey at all - thankfully. One year I grew jalapenos that were sooooooooo spicey I couldn't give them away - even to friends who like them the hotter the better!
Last but not least, my cherry tomato plants. Every year they reseed themselves and I have to pull them out or give them away.
Ain't gardening grand?!?
