Subject: RE: BS: Gardening 2012, Successes & Failures?
I was moderately successful - plenty of cherry tomatoes, zucchini (courgette), some yellow squash, lots of peppers - green and jalopeƱo. I mistakenly bought Japanese egglplant seedlings but when they started coming in I was amazed - copious quantities and they were delicious. The cucumbers did yield but not very well, and the parsley and cilantro were disappointing. Now I have collards, kale and lettuce. Collards and kale always seem to grow abundantly, but I'm disappointed in the lettuce. I live in Virginia, USA BTW. The main problem is that I need to move my plot, but I haven't gotten around to it. I've used the same ground space for 4 or 5 years now and while I've put down fertilizer, I haven't put down mulch or topsoil.
