Garden

[stef_tm]

This year, in addition to growing tomatoes, we've planted: Japanese and lemon cucumbers, carrots, pasilla peppers, a ton of herbs, potatoes, various lettuces.

Learned so far:
- Lettuces and peppers are easy.
- Carrots take much longer to grow than I expected. Sensitive to the soil conditions as well.
- Cucumbers get comically large if once ignores the garden.
- Home grown heirloom tomatoes >>> any store bought tomato, ever.

love heirloom tomatoes - what kind are you growing? my faves are brandywine, paul robeson, and black krim - highly recommend all 3! black cherries are good too.

We're growing brandywine, sweet baby girl, and Aunt Ruby's German green. They are all fabulous!
