2019 Garden

This year’s garden featured several returning plant selections and some new experiments. The jalapeno poppers were particularly successful growing against a hot west-facing wall. I established my food website with this year’s produce to showcase the products with their source.

Complete list of garden produce

  • 8′ row of Snap Peas (highly productive, early)
  • 8′ row of White Onions (from seed with variable resulting size)
  • Six Jalapeno Pepper plants (yielded over 200 peppers of varying heat)
  • Bell Peppers: two plants in the shade produced only a single pepper
  • Ten Heirloom Tomato Plants: Purple Cherokee (2), Legend, Willamette, Mortgage Lifter, Sunset Orange, Dr. Whychee’s Yellow (2), Stupice, Martian Giant (highly variable yield by variety with the cooler summer)
  • Four Pumpkin Plants (yielded 5 total pumpkins): Connecticut Field is successful; Small Sugar is not
  • One butternut squash and one (volunteer) spaghetti squash plant, each producing a single vegetable
  • Two Zucchini Plants (yielded 15-20 zucchinis each)
  • Sunflowers: giant and sunset
  • Raspberries: productively established as biennials with half pruned out each year
  • Apples, Asian Pears, Persimmons: several fruits per tree in their first productive year
