If you are one of the few, the proud, the 5 who read this blog because you’re also a gardenerd {© David, 2016, “thank you very much,”} then you might be interested in the full list of what I’m planting this year. If not: Привет, друзья. {That means “hi friends” in Russian. Yes, the hackers are at it again. Here’s a handy freebie: my username’s not ADMIN.}
Yра.
So, if you are one of the five: you are about to be exhilarated.
If you’re not, or your name is David, just know that at least I am in the first step and admitting I have a problem.
I HAVE A PROBLEM.
There, now, that’s out of the way, onward and upward. I give you: THE LIST.
Going in soon: wando peas, sugar snap peas, purple of Sicily cauliflower
Getting seeded soon: pinkeye purple hull cowpeas, envy edamame, ground cherry {whoever heard of such a thing?? I can’t wait to try it…}, Jaune Obtuse du Doubs carrot, green bush zucchini, tomatillos, blue lake garden beans, Genovese basil, early jalapenos, sumter cucumbers, straightneck squash, Pusa Asita black carrots {!!!}, Alabama red okra, cilantro
Flowers getting seeded soon: everything saved from last year–all manner of zinnias, pampas plume celosia, sunflowers. New stuff: marigold, summer pastels yarrow, Colorado mix yarrow, Tom Thumb mixed strawflower, Mother of Pearl poppy, aaaaaaaall sorts of zinnias {not just pink this year, sorry bitties}, and crimson clover for a cover crop under the peach tree
Later: Musquee de Provence and Flat white Boer squash {read: pumpkins}, and I’M SURE more stuff, but that’s the only stuff planned for July right now
Seed babies.
Guess what, Dave: bad news. I just googled gardenerd: she already exists. And she’s totally cute. And she probably won’t appreciate you thinking you’re the one who invented the term “gardenerd.” Thinking a woman’s exposed belly is called a “midrift” instead of a midriff though is totally original–that one’s all you. Stick with that.
