It's been awhile, holidays , familiy matters etc. And I never have been one to speak alot just ask those who know me. I'm the type that is content to sit out in my garden and watch it grow. But The seasons are turning Febuary starts the 2009 planting season for me. I have several thousand seedling eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, herbs and flowers started in flats and will start potting them up next week in the greenhouses. I have my contracts for seed and My 2009 iterneray and garden planned out.
So for all ya'll in cyber world what are you planting this year? and a special thanks to those patrons of Southern Exposure seeds and South Carolina Foundation seed for your purchases of the seed I provisded to them this year.
I have an ambitious garden planned, for legumes I am planting Amish snap peas and an old family heirloom of mine and this area of SC. It is a fall planted spring harvested English pea that dates to the colonial era. both to be grow for SESE. I am also growing Redstriped greasy bean, white seeded greasy pod, The Georgia house Butter bean, Redstriped greasy, Ozark southern pea, Colossus southern pea, Washday southern pea all for SESE and Clemson Purple hull southern pea for South Carolina Foundation seed. Plus a slew of other vegetables and flowers for SESE, South Carolina Foundation Seed, Bakers Creek and Fedco seeds.
I hope to be more involved in the discussions here and I want to invite those who can attend to the 3rd annual Fall Harvest festival at Jeffersons Monticello in Va. on Sept 12. I will be hosting the seed swap again this year. I need suggestion fror everyone on what makes a good seed swap to put on the website. Also there is a great lineup of speakers this year. Amy Goldman, William Woys Weaver, My mentor Dr. David Bradshaw founder of South carolina foundation seed bank. plus for those more interested in a toned down lecture from a humble gardener I will be speaking on Peas. Spring and Southern peas. So make your plans and give me some ideas to make the seed swap the best this side of the Mississippi. Rodger
