Well, I bought two more Bonnie tomatoes, Goliath (bush with large fruit) since none of my heirloom dealers have anything in stock other than pansies and herbs. Both the Goliaths and the Tami G grape maters are flowering, and I’m hand-pollinating so I’m expecting March 1 fruit to pick.

Last year’s robust pepper plants never died and are sending large side-shoots, so I may have salsa by Easter!

I’d grow by seed but I’m just not as good as professional growers. Have a neighbor out here in Volente who grows strawberry, tomato and other plants for sale - good ones - she
sells at the Firehouse market day every quarter.

For some reason I have had very good luck growing Jalapeno peppers and basically any type of hot pepper but my bell peppers have been a disappointment. I did have good results with some Pimiento Peppers last year they were beautiful big red ones. Pick them green and they are the same as a green bell pepper.

I roasted them in the oven and peeled the skins off and then caned them. I use them for color and slight flavor in stir fries and such.

Roasted and peeled.
