What do I do with all these not-ripe vegetables?
Comments (7)All the peppers you mention can be eaten green, including the cayenne. It is better red, but green makes good salsa too. I use green tomatoes for salsa, green tomato relish, fried green tomatoes, pickled tomatoes, and grilled green tomatoes (yes, they are good!) Another nice trick I recently discovered. Cucumbers are related to melons, and under ripe melons have a cucumber taste. So if you melons do not ripen, just pretend you got a large cucumber and you can use it in salads. Even if the melon is a little bit sweet it should work with assertive salad greens like arugula or radicchio. My melons will ripen, I just picked some too early since it is my first year growing melons so I did not know when to pick them, but this is how I found out you can still use them.

Comments (4)Welcome, Johnny! Here's what I'm thinkin' 'bout the dealio. What kind of tomato is that 'un? If it is a hybrid tomato, you might be disappointed at the results. If is an heirloom (aka open-pollinated) type. This website is a rich source of knowledgable people, so take advantage of it. And for Pete's sake, if you fail, try again, and again... Nobody ever learned all this stuff overnight. And most of all, remember.. "Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed." Best!...See MoreWhat Asian vegetables can I grow in Michigan?
Comments (5)Hello I live in Michigan as well. Where in Michigan do you live? I'm trying to grow vegetables myself via container gardening. As far as a good retailer that offers a wide variety of Asian vegetable seeds and are reputable I don't of any stores in Michigan that really stock a decent variety of the seed varieties you're looking for. However I do know of an online store that specializes exclusively in the sales of asian vegetable seeds. I will give you the link. The name of the seed retailer is Kitazawa Seed. I know you can grow daikon radish in Michigan; it matures very quickly (about a month to 45 days depending on the variety you get). To my knowledge it's also called icicle radish and if you look hard enough you should be able to find a seed store or hardware store that carries this. White radish likes cool weather and hates hot weather. If it becomes too hot it will bolt which essentially means it will start to create flowers. This will make the radish pithy and very spicy. Unfortunately regarding the other varieties of vegetables you want to grow, I can't really help you there as I've never grown them myself. However here is the link to the seed company I was talking about: http://www.kitazawaseed.com/...See MoreVegetable gardeners! What do you have growing this fall?
Comments (21)People say keepIng it simple this year, and I laugh. Keeping it simple is when you garden outside of AZ. Anything here takes a tender hand and a watchful eye. I LOVE hearing about all of these varieties!! This is awesome! I have jalape�os and serranos, lots of swiss chard, romaine, and butter lettuce. I started up another zucchini, and an acorn squash, along with several varieties of cucumber. Oh, and bell peppers of course, from spring plants - those are finally coming into their own, along with about half dozen eggplants. LOTS of eggplants!! Interestingly, my concord grape is fruiting this fall. It already produced this spring, and I didn't realize that it would re-fruit for me now...!...See Morerina_Ontario,Canada 5a
