Garden Prep

[403]

When I get to Boston (flying out late Monday night), I'll have enough outdoor space for a rather larger garden, and it's not too late in the season to begin.

What I plan to plant:

Summer:
* Siberian kale
* Giant winter spinach
* Winter savory (perennial herbs)
* Tokinashi daikon radish
* Purple carrots (supposed to taste "spicy")
* All-red potato (red inside and out)
* Yukon gold potato (easy to grow)
* Dutch white clover (underplanting the veggies)
* Alpine strawberry (potted, may take indoors)
* Hamanasu rose (potted, may take indoors)
* Dwarf nasturtium

Spring:
* Sunset dwarf amaranth (grain cultivar)
* Marsh mallow (long germination time, start indoors)
* Scarlet runner beans (wild type, not phenotypically stable)


I've managed to hold off on buying most long-season plants. The seeds to be packed for next spring are growing right now, so if I get them at this time of year and try to overwinter them, they'll be starting to go 'stale' by next planting season.
