Eggplant -- what ever the most common North American variety is? assuming 'dark purple' I bought these plants at a farmers market
Ground Cherry - This is my new favorite thing to grow. This year was just a tester but next year I will plant much more of these.
Dwarf: Meyer Lemon, Orange, Lime, and Tangerine
Dwarf 5-on-1 pair tree: Bartlett, Kieffer, Moonglow, Orient and Ayres (this is still small and in a bucket. When i got it in the mail, it was about 24 inches long. I planted it like the instructions tole me to. Then with it came to life all the new growth start from the base. So i have new growth and 24 inch stick in the middle.)
Basil:
- Holi
- Sweet
- Lettuce Leaf
- Thai
- Lemon
Stevia
Prescott fond blanc melon
Oregano
Many of the above are planted multiple times. I am able to squeze all of this down the side of the town house, under the back porch and on top of the back porch. Good news is that soon we are getting a fence put in and then the garden can really spread out.
Good job on growing all the veggies. Cherokee purple is one of our favorite tomatoes as well, we have a hard time getting them picked before they split but the flavor makes up for that.
ReplyDeleteI grew ground cherries for the first time about 5 years ago and every year since...aren't they great? We tried growing Giant Cape Gooseberries (a type of ground cherry) this year but were sent the wrong seed. They are supposed to be a much bigger version of the commmon ground cherry. The nice thing about ground cherries is they easily re-seed themselves if you happen to miss picking a couple fruits. We have them coming up on their own every where now.:)
I'm envious of your dwarf citrus trees! Do you grow those in pots?
