Kelli's 2015 Garden Journal

[BucksCountyGirl]

Hello all! I was so happy to see that people seemed to enjoy last year's journal as much as I enjoyed putting it together. So here we go for 2015!

After much (of what we considered) success with our potato experiment last year, we have decided to expand the project for 2015. I will detail our process again next weekend when we plant. We are replanting German Butterballs (because my husband proclaimed them "the best potatoes EVER") from some new seed potatoes from Moose Tubers as well as some control seed potatoes of our own from last year because...SCIENCE! We are also trialing Magic Mollys because they are too gorgeous NOT to plant as you will see from the link. http://www.fedcoseeds.com/moose/search.php?item=7140

We are adding another fig tree (Atreano) to our collection since I am now thoroughly obsessed after last year's Negronne crop

Since I ran out of space in my grow set up after just 45 plants, I purchased starts from chileplants.com for my hot sauce this year. It's my first time with super hots so I am excited (and a little nervous!) I'm growing:
Aji Omicolor (again, because it is AMAZING)
Bhut Jolokia White
Habanero Francisca
Lester William's Red
Aji Limo
Biker Billy Jalapeno (for jumbo poppers)
and I am also trialing Ping Tung Long Eggplants

Below are some pics of my tomato and sweet peppers starts as of Saturday. I got a little punchy toward the end of potting up so my labeling got a little nuts, as you can see I started:
Giant Marconi pepper
Dwarf Chocolate Lightening
Dwarf Sweet Sue (repeat)
Dwarf Rosella Purple (repeat)
Dwarf Lime Green Salad (repeat)
Ambrosia Rose Cherry (experimental high brix variety)
SunGold Cherry (repeat)
Black Cherry (repeat)
Blush Cherry (repeat)
Stupice (repeat)
Coustralee
KBX (repeat)
Berkeley Tie Dye Pink
Eva Purple Ball (repeat)
Hungarian Heart

I hope everyone is having fun ramping up for the season and planning new garden projects. Cheers!
