Planting into Bales day
Today we planted into the well-rotting bales:
2 pink ponderosa tomatoes
2 brandywine tomatoes
3 Cherokee purple tomatoes
2 Green Zebra Stripe tomatoes
1 tomatillo from OSH (good old Orchard Supply Hardware)
1 yellow pear tomato - because we love their silly selves
1 Pimiento del Padrone, which is apparently only propagated in North
America by our source, Happy Quail Farms in East Palo Alto (we got
this start at the UCCE master gardener's sale a few weeks ago).
1 pepper "Sparky" about 5 on a 1-10 hotness scale whatever that means
(it's not apparently related to a scoville scale which is I think
logarithmic?)
1 pepper Pimiente d'Esplette ditto for midrange warmth
4 sweet bell peppers, a white, a yellow, an orange, a red, that were
mixed up by the time I got them home from aforementioned sale --
"they will announce themselves" said the propagater;
2 Nu-Mex chilis
2 Sweet Hungarian pimientos (Renee's Garden seeds)
some little bitty lettuces we got at the plant swap today (upon also
getting rid of many extra pink ponderosa and purple cherokee tomato
starts, hurrah)
2 zukes - white summer squash "lolita" hybrid
1 long Japanese dark purple eggplant
there were 7 bush bean starts in the two 4" packs I brought home from
OSH; six of them will definitely make it, one we're not sure of but
planted in hopes.
