I'm going to experiment with grow bags this year. Anyone tried them before?

Last year I bought a pack of Thai peppers and planted half (harvested over 500 peppers) and put the other half in the freezer.
Last month I took them out of the freezer to the fridge for a few days and then planted in containers in the window.
They all sprouted in 2 weeks. In mid March they will be re-potted and placed outside. That way if we get a March freeze overnight they are easy to move into the garage. They should produce from early June through September.

Since Naylor moved to Cleggs after the flood I'm hoping they pay as much attention to the vegetables as he did.


This x 10

And stocks the seeds that Naylors had.

Didn't read this whole thread, but I was wondering if it was too early to start planting tomatos and eggplant?

I just planted my tomatoes 15 minutes ago....I'm in Dallas. I am up against the onset of hot nights here in Big D. If I wait until the threat of freezing is gone (mid april) then I don't have enough time before it gets too hot for fruiting. Others in this thread said it was too early.

I put a few in as well as a few cucumbers, squash, onions and potatos. I'll put more in later and I bought the Contender bush beans.

Cleggs does have Naylors seeds.

Tomato is my favorite vegetable, so in my small garden I often grow up tomatoes and corn.

Solid bump.....but since I'm here, I have about 10 tomatoes on my plant that gave me spring tomatoes. Had to cover the plant this weekend when it got down to 38 at my house...the burbs got below 32. I also just planted lettuce, kale,spinach, broccoli, radicchio and swiss chard.

My broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, lettuce, and spinach have been in the ground here about 3-4 weeks and looking good for the cold season. Had our first frost last night, which might put a stop to my peppers and eggplants that had still been producing.

I do Shishitos most years, including this one. I found they produce heavily early and taper off when the real heat kicks in. Enjoy early and often.


You were right about the Shishitos. They were done by August. They were great while they lasted. The Padrons are still going and I have a few on the bush currently. They peaked in July too.

Gardening for me is a stylelife. I have 2 small gardens. One with a lot of decorating trees, bushes, flowers and a nice arbor. Another with a lot of vegetables and fruits: watermelon, tomato, onion, corn etc . I am not good at farming but I have small grain cleaner so it makes my garden work much easier, it selects the most viable and productive grains.

Not sure I follow your use of a grain cleaner.
