Farmer A's Farm

Hi Ladies!

I am so excited this year and going pretty crazy. Interesting in seed sharing Farmer T. I have tons of seeds to share and would love to check out what you have for when Laborer Pete builds my last big planter bed soon and I can get more stuff in the ground. Thanks!

Here's what I have going and I too will post pics soon.
Winter garden:
red swiss chard
celery
carrots
romaine lettuce
fava beans
red and yellow onions

Here's what's new for spring!
cucumber
zucchini
eggplant
radish
beets
tomatoes (yellow pear, cherry, roma)
peas
green beans
tomatillos
cantaloupe
strawberries
watermelon
red/yellow onions
green onions
jalapenos
bell peppers

I was a dork and didn't label anything, remember where some are, but others will be surprises as them come up. Most of my plants are sprouted and growing, a few I bought as plants. Lots of herbs too...sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, parsley, cilantro, basil.

I also have lots of berries (3 blueberry, lots of black and raspberry), 4 different grapes, and added some new trees to my yard this year. May be a while until I have fruit, but I am patient and can't wait! Added a fuji apple, bing cherry, plum, elberta peach, white peach, pomegranate, satsuma, and clementine. Wow, when I write it all down it seems like a lot. These are all tiny, cheap trees so I know it will be a while. The great find I discovered for fruit trees/bushes/berries is Whole Foods. Really nice quality, Duarte Farms plants from Fresno...tons of different trees ($10 each), tons of berries ($6 each), and citrus trees/bushes ($13 each). Costco also had last I went very large blueberry bushes (3 gallon pots) with tons of blueberries on them already growing for $20. Pretty good deal for how huge the plants already are. Anyhow I'll stop blabbering on for now. Hope to have lots of stuff to share with you all this summer. I'm optimistic!! :)
