Mini Sweet Peppers (Like from Trader Joes)
Comments (2)Hi (again) Kristi!, I know nothing about the specific varieties you speak of, but in general a first year pepper does just fine with 1 sq ft of growing area (even less in a container). Some of the larger hot peppers will do better with a bit more space, but sweet/bell plants do just fine with 12" spacing. Also, there is a pepper forum on GW where the real pepper geeks can provide input as well. I think it's the 'hot pepper forum', but as I recall the folks there are just pepper geeks and will be happy to talk about not so hot (heat wise) peppers too....See MoreHellebore 'Cinnamon Snow' from Trader Joe's
Comments (13)Thanks, all, for your suggestions, support and information. I was hoping to pick the brains of the enormously gifted gardeners on the NE forum. I think that folks who garden with extreme weather variations, and also like to push the envelope of what is âÂÂnormalâÂÂ, come up with unique techniques. So, as usual, I learned many new tips from reading your posts. The fact that hellebores should be placed upright and not on their sides when I put the pot out was a real âÂÂsaveâÂÂâÂÂ. Thanks, DtD! Yes, I know, I know---- I should have walked on by like you did at MahoneyâÂÂs, but the price and the look of âÂÂCinnamon Snowâ just drew me in. Winter in New England should be a time of planning, not planting! This sure is a pickle I created for myself. I knew it would be a challenge to take this beautiful plant home and I'm guessing that many of the others who also snatched it up from TJ or WF may have done so because they thought it was an indoor plant. So ---- considering all of my limitations --- no garage or enclosed porch, no compost pile, huge winds off the water in the back that also affect our exposed deck on that side, IâÂÂve narrowed my options. IâÂÂll keep it in the least warm area of our house and then plant it along the east side of the house when the ground thaws a bit. Here are some shots of 'Cinnamon Snow' as she resides now in a cold back bedroom --- Happy New Year and hereâÂÂs hoping that the first storm of 2014 treats you all kindly!...See MorePortland, ME's new Trader Joe's - Anyone Been?
Comments (5)I've been there three or four times now and like it better each time I go. The first time, the parking was horrible but we've been able to find a spot without a problem after that. They have a huge wine selection, the baking aisle is full of interesting things and there's a pretty big freezer section. I really stocked up on frozen mini croissants and mini chocolate croissants while I was there the last time. I live a couple of hours away from Portland and tend to buy a lot when I'm there....See MoreWhy should I buy from Trader Joe's?
Comments (86)I have never been in a TJ's that had several rows of frozen foods, and we have a few that aren't far from us. I don't think it's a big deal to access the crackers and cookies over the frozen foods. Unfortunately, I am able to easily grab the boxes of Jo-Jo's. ;) The parking lots are always small and awkward! I thought it was just around us because the stores are in urban locations, but I guess not? I think maybe we oversold the whole TJ's experience and you were disappointed, Oakley! I like it for certain things, but to me it's not the greatest store ever. I doubt that I'd go too far out of my way to shop there. Forgot to mention earlier that my kids used to love Nutrigrain bars, and TJ's has their own brand that are basically the same and so much cheaper. That's one of the items I've stocked up on there....See Moresuivezmoi
