This Saturday was our family vegetable gardening project. Our grandchildren helped us prepared raised containers with some new vegetable seeds from the international Sakata Seed. It's going to be a learning project for Jaxon and Mackenah to see how fast the vegetables grow and mark their progress on a calendar and graph.
Because of all the shade from old oaks in our backyard, we planted the vegetables in full sun in our long driveway and border garden. We planted:
- 'Touchstone Gold' beets
- 'Red Bull' bell peppers
- 'Tasty Green' burpless cucumbers
'Vulcan' lettuce- 'Da Vinci' melons
- 'Jalafuego' peppers
- 'Hijinks' pumpkins - 2011 All American Selection
- 'Tyee' spinach
- 'Solid Gold' cherry tomatoes
- 'Sweet Hearts' grape tomatoes
- 'Sweet Million' cherry tomatoes
- 'Sweet Treat' tomatoes
We also planted onions, garlic, strawberries, and nasturtiums. Jaxon and Mackenah wrote the names of each plant on the label tags, along with Saturday's date and the approximate date of harvesting.
We'll let you know how they progress, but I was very impressed with the seed quality. I am anticipating a great harvest with enough vegetables and fruit to share with the whole neighborhood.
