What did you do in the garden today?

Just thinking... the way some items may go up with what is happening around the world. It is a great time to grow a garden and save what money you can. My daughter and daughter in law are growing gardens this year. I am growing extra starts of everything, so they won't have to buy any.

Hey on pepper plants FYI you can root cuttings. You can buy plants and have twice as many by taking a cutting from the top.

I know I’ve been strongly reconsidering what I’m going to plant. The major part of my garden maintenance is looking like it will need to be put off regardless and the rest isn’t supposed to be until September. I was going to stick to short season stuff or things small enough to move easily - like leafy greens - but now I’m wondering if I should plant some of the big viney things anyway.

I knew that about tomatoes but not about peppers. Since potatoes are in the same family I'm guessing you could root cuttings from them too. I'm not growing potatoes this season but maybe someone could try it.

Maybe a good idea! Plant what your family likes to eat. A lot of plants will be done before September.

I used to grow beans because the kids liked playing in the teepee when they were young. Beans aren't the favorite vegetable of any of us though so I grew hyacinth beans because the vine was so pretty to look at.

Last year I planted some black turtle beans along the outside of the chicken pen. I finally found someone(s) who likes beans - plant and all.
