Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Freedom]

Got 100+ peppers started, tomatoes next. Planting for dark times, seems every week the garden plan gets bigger

What would a person do with the produce from 100 pepper plants, of any variety?

And mind you, I consider myself a pepper lover.

We dehydrate many of the peppers we grow and use them in stir fry, rice dishes, and the like throughout the year. They keep their flavor very well and rehydrate before the rice is cooked or the meat is done most times.

We are going to try planting some Jerusalem artichokes this year in some out of the way places. Should be a fun little trial. If nothing else, they should make flowers for the pollinators.

I don't have much space so many plants are given away. It's one of those things where I started with a reasonably number and have added more and more plants every year. I have a hard time picking just a couple varieties. Biggest hassle is moving plants around to harden them off in May. It's worth it to not have friends and family overpaying for thin leggy plants.
I dice and freeze the majority of peppers, they seem to disappear quickly that way. We also make a ridiculous amount of salsa

I have a vegetable stand in August and September and what I dont sell I give to family and friends, so not much left when I get done. LB

We make salsa, ketchup peppers, homemade vegetable juice, put some in our pickles, pickle some jars with just peppers, eat some fresh, and dehydrate the rest and grind them with a pepper grinder to make a dry shake for pizza and eggs and the like. All that with like 16 plants. That’s awesome LB

Nice , I thought someone would have something coming to life. Still to early here but this early spring weather is getting me antsy . I did plant a few potatoes that had long sprouts over Easter weekend. The Ice is going off Metigoshe today so we are getting closer.

Got my potatoes in and the asparagus is popping up to

 

[LBrandt]

Taters going to be planted in about 10 days or so, along with the first batch of carrots. LB

 

[BDub]

Asparagus and garlic are up. Potatoes might get planted today. Sounds like it might rain. First I have to reseed the winter killed grass.

Looks like my garlic that I planted last fall will all make it. Planted a row of radishes and they coming up too. Lots stuff is left to plant yet. I got a smaller garden 15 ft by 60 ft. So some of my rows will be close together this year. Most time I plant so I can till with my little 12 inch tiller between rows. This year planting more peppers , tomatoes and onions to make salsa etc.
